Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ( 2x - 8 ) + 15 = -15 (write the equation)
5 ( 2x - 8 ) = -30 (subtract by 15 on both sides)
2x - 8 = -6 (divide by 5 on both sides)
2x = 2 (add 8 to both sides)
x = 1 (divide by 2 on both sides)
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points

Total cost = a + (13a/100)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the price of the monster truck be 'a'
He should pay 13% tax
Total cost = price of the truck + tax
Total cost = a + (13a/100)
The equation to represent the total cost is
Total cost= a + (13a/100)
