Answer:

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Kelly's portion = x

Greg's portion = 2x

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

Total bill = $114.00

Total bill = Kelly's portion + Greg's portion + Joe's portion

114 = x + 2x + (4x - 1.50)

114 = 3x + 4x - 1.50

114 = 7x - 1.50

Add 1.50 to both sides

114 + 1.50 = 7x - 1.50 + 1.50

115.5 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

x = 115.5 / 7

= 16.5

x = $16.5

Kelly's portion = x

x = $16.5

Greg's portion = 2x

= 2 × 16.5

= $33

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

= 4(16.5) - 1.50

= 66 - 1.50

= $64.5

Therefore,

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

What is an equation for the line through (11,-21) with undefined slope​
Andreyy89

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

An undefined slope is a vertical line on a graph. This means it isn't equal to a y-value, but rather an x-value instead. All values of y work for this function, just as long as the x-coordinate is 11.

Yuliya22 [10]
Hello!

Let's subtract the eight DVDs Joe received as gifts, because he didn't buy them on his own.

35 - 8 = 27

Now, divide the remaining CDs by the 3 years he collected his DVDs in.

27 ÷ 3 = 9

A N S W E R:

Joe bought 9 DVDs last year.

Good day!

A parking lot covers 32,420 square feet. What is its area to the nearest thousand feet? Explain how you round the number.
REY [17]
The thousands place (1000) is the fourth number to the left of the decimal, so round that one either up or down based on the number just one spot closer to the decimal, in this case, the hundreds place (100).

so we have 32,420

we can ignore the numbers that are going to become zeros as a result of the rounding . .

32,400

let's round 32,XXX either up or down based on the value in the hundreds place. if that value is 5 or greater, than we round up. if it is less than 5, than we round down.

4 is in the hundreds place, so we round down

32,000 is the answer

Solve:<br> 2/3x+15=17<br><br> 3x+8-x=7<br><br> 4(2x-6)=2
Volgvan

Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4
