You can just simplify to make an equivalent equation:
(2)(3x + 8) = 5 ⇒ 6x + 16 = 5

Answer:
$16.50
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jason spends $3.75 and Maya spends three times that amount, Maya spends 3.75(3) or $11.25. If Tia spends $5.25 more than Maya, Tia spends 11.25 + 5.25 or $16.50.
Across the y axis. This question becomes easier if you graph it out in your head. Let's say the bank is at (2,2). Because the grocery store has an opposite x coordinate, the bank would be at (-2,2). If you look at this in your head, they are not even on different sides of the x axis, and therefore must be reflected across the y axis.
Answer:
242/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.
Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)
S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)
S5 = 242/27
_____
Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...
6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27
To solve each question, all you've got to do is add the two numbers together and then graph the result on the number line.
1.) -3 +(-1.5)
Add 3 to -1.5. It would be the same as subtracting 1.5 from -3(-3 - 1.5)
Final Answer: -4.5<span>
Or, since you are using a number line, start on -3 and go left 1.5 units and you will land on the -4.5 point. You go to the left because you are adding a negative number..
</span>
2.) 1.5+3.5
Add<span>
Final Answer: 5
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1.5 and go to the right 3.5 and you will land on 5. You go to the right because you are adding a positive number.<span>
</span>3.) 1/4 + 1/2
Multiply 1/2 by 2 to make both fractions have the same denominator
1/4 + 2/4
Add<span>
Final Answer: 3/4
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1/4 and go up 2/4 and you will land on 3/4 as the result.<span>
</span>4.) -1 1/2 + (-1 1/2)
Add -1 1/2 to -1 1/2. This would be the same as subtracting 1 1/2 from -1 1/2(-1 1/2 - 1 1/2)<span>
Final Answer: -3
</span><span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on -1 1/2 and go to the left 1 1/2 and you will land on the -3 point.</span>
