Eight less than a number is six more than twice the same number. I need the number.

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is -14

Explanation:

x - 8 = 2x + 6

We move all term to the left

x - 8 - ( 2x + 6 ) = 0

We get rid of parentheses

x - 2x - 6 - 8 = 0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x - 14 = 0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other term to the right

-x = 14
x = 14/-1
x = -14

She arrived at the car park at 2.15pm and leaves at 4.45pm on Thursday. how much does Diane pay for her car parking? Monday - Fr

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

£4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

She is at the car park for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

It would be £4.50 because 2 hours and 30 minutes is between 2-4 hours.

It can't be £3.00 because it would be too little time (2 hours or less) and it wouldn't be £5.50 because she would be paying for more time than she was there for (5 hours or more).

Hope this helps :)
