The equation will be 2x + 7 = 3x

subtract 2x from bothsides, you get 7 = x

so x is equal to 7

EDITED

sorry, i didnt read the sum part, so my answer is considered wrong ahaha

2(x+7) equals 3x

distribute, you get 2x+14=3x

then subtract 2x,

the answer for x is 14

X= in the number searched
2(x+7)= is the twice the sum of this number and seven.
3x= is three times the number

Because the twice the sum of a number and seven is three times the number, we suggest the following equation:

2(x+7)=3x
2x+14=3x
3x-2x=14
x=14

Answer: the number is 14.

At a movie theatre adult tickets cost $10 and child ticjets cost $6. Which equation can be used to find s, the number of dollars

timurjin [86]

Answer:

s = 10k + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Adults ticket = $10 per adult

Cost of Ticket = $6 per child

Number of adults = k

Number of Children = 5

s = Total cost

Total cost = (Cost per adult * number of adults) + (Cost per child * Number of children)

s = ($10 * k) + ($6 * 5)

s = $10k + $30

s = 10k + 30

Pregnant women metabolize some drugs at a slower rate than the rest of the population. The half-life of caffeine is about 4 hour

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Husband:

The husband will have 16.35 mg of caffeine in his body at 7 pm.

Woman:

The pregnant woman will have 51.33 mg of caffeine in her body at 7 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in the body can be modeled by the following equation:

$C(t) = C(0)e^{rt}$

In which C(t) is the amount of caffeine t hours after 8 am, C(0) is how much coffee they took and r is the rate the the amount of caffeine decreases in their bodies.

110 mg of caffeine at 8 am,

So $C(0) = 110$
