Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be 3+6x=21 since we know that the soft drink costs 3 dollars and he bought 6 candy bars(6 times x or 6x). We also know that the total cost for this merchandise is 21 dollars. Now you solve the equation! First subtract 3 from both sides(since the inverse for addition is subtraction we SUBTRACT 3 from bothe sides). You are left with 6x=21-3 or 6x=18. Now you divide Each side by 6(because the inverse operation of multiplication is division). You have the answer! x=18/6 or x=3! Hope it helped!!

A positive integer is 5 more than 23 times another. Their product is 6732. Find the two integers.

inna [77]

Another way to write this is:
x = 23y + 5
xy = 6732

Now plug in the first equation into the second:
(23y + 5)y = 6732
23y^2 + 5y - 6732 = 0

Either use quadratic equation or factor:
(y - 17)(23y + 396) = 0
y = 17 or -396/23

You know you can automatically eliminate the second y because it's negative and you need the two integers to multiply to a positive number (6732).

Plug y = 17 back into either equation (second might be easier):
17x = 6732
x = 396
