8 < 4 (x + 1) Use the Distributive Property
8 < 4x + 4 Subtract 4 from both sides
4 < 4x Divide both sides by 4
1 < x
After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be
5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10
The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,
19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5
Therefore, the book costs $1.5.

Answer:
w = -7z/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve for w in terms of z.
The equation given is:
5w + 9z = 2z + 3w
Collect like terms:
5w - 3w = 2z - 9z
2w = -7z
w = -7z/2
