Steps to solve:

-15 + 12x = 5x + 7 - 3x

~Combine like terms

-15 + 12x = (5x - 3x) + 7

~Simplify

-15 + 12x = 2x + 7

~Add 15 to both sides

-15 + 15 + 12x = 2x + 7 + 15

~Simplify

12x = 2x + 22

~Subtract 2x to both sides

12x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 22

~Simplify

10x = 22

~Divide 10 to both sides

10x/10 = 22/10

~Simplify

x = 11/5 or 2.2

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-15 + 12x = 5x + 7 - 3x

Combine like terms

-15 +12x = 2x +7

Subtract 2x from each side

-15 +12x -2x = 2x-2x +7

-15 +10x = 7

Add 15 from each side

-15+15 +10x = 7+15

10x = 22

Divide each side by 10

10x/10 = 22/10

x = 2.2

Sarah runs a day camp in the summer and needs to buy paper towels and soap for the restrooms. She spends $129 on t cases of pape
Cloud [144]
Let x be the number of cases of paper towels and y be the number of cases of soap. The system of linear equation that would best represent the given is,
                                 x + y = 10
                               12x + 15y = 129
The values of x and y are 7 and 3. 

Sarah both 7 cases of paper towel.

It is not possible for Sarah to buy exactly 20 bottles because first of all the cases contains only 12 bottles and 20 is not divisible by 12.
