Answer: x = 3


Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

12 + 5x + -3x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

12 + 2x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

12 + 2x = 18 + 0

12 + 2x = 18

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 2x = 18 + -12

2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 18 + -12 = 6

2x = 6

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get your variables and constants separated on either side of the =

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out the 3x on the right:

12 + 5x - 3x = 18 + 3x - 3x    

12 + 2x = 18

subtract 12 from both sides to cancel out the 12 on the left side:

12 - 12 + 2x = 18 - 12    

now just solve for x

2x = 6

divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side:

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

To raise additional money for the school, the pep club decided to open the concession stand during the tournament and sell sandw
Ostrovityanka [42]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:<span> x +y = 390 </span>

2x + 4y = 1260

2x+4y=1260 ßdivide by 2

= x+2y=630

x+y=390 ßsubtract

= x+2y-x-y=630-390

y=240

x+240=390

x=390-240=150

 

<span>So, if they raised $1260 from the concession stand, then they sold 240 sandwiches.</span>

A patio was to be laid in a design with one tile in the
Vlada [557]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...

We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1.  The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:

S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))

Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:

S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)

S = n/2 (n + 1)

Since S ≤ 60:

n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60

n (n + 1) ≤ 120

n must be an integer, so from trial and error:

n ≤ 10

Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.
