First we distribute

into

and

.


That makes the left side of the equation

Now we subtract

from

, which makes

Now the equation is

Our goal is to isolate

, so we both sides by 30
That will make the equation

We multiply -1 on both sides of the equation:

Finally we simplify

, which makes
So the answer is
If you would like to solve for the positive value of x, you can do this using the following steps:
6 * x^2 - 54 = 0 /6
x^2 - 9 = 0
(x - 3) * (x + 3) = 0
1. x = 3
2. x = - 3
The correct result would be x = 3.
Answer:79
Step-by-step explanation:
180-(45+56)=79
Your wage would be $122.5, (8.75)(14)
Make two equations. Then solve. Let t and b represent the numbers of pages in the Tax Code and Bible, respectively.
t - b = 18,528 . . . . . tax code exceeds Bible by 18,528 pages
t + b = 21,472 . . . . .together, they total 21,472 pages
Add the two equations.
2t = 40,000
t = 20,000
The number of pages in the tax code is 20,000.
