First, set up the equation.
365x + 125 = 250x + 175
Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.
365x +125 = 250x + 175
-250x -125 -250x -125
__________________
115x = 50
Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.
115x = 50
---- ----
115 115
Fourth, simplify.
x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435
Both servings of pancakes cost $8.50
One serving of pancakes cost $4.35
Equation: 1.15 (2x + 1.50) = 11.50
2.3x + 1.725 + 11.50
2.3x = 9.725
x = 4.25 for one serving of pancakes
2x = 8.50 for both servings of pancakes
B.) because according to the identity property of addition, any number added to zero will remain the same.
3x10^5
+7x10^4

|x|=absoulte value of x which means whatever x is, make it positive
so first solve any division/multiplication
the only one is 12/46=6/23
so we do the absoulte value signs
-3+45-(-14)
-(-14)=+14
-3+45+14=56
absoulute value of 56=56
56+(-|-87+6/23|)
-87+6/23=-86 and 17/23
absoulte value of -86 and 17/23=86 and 17/23
there is a negative sign in front of the absoulte vaulue so make it negative
56-86 and 17/23=-30 and 17/23 or about -30.73913
