Answer:
x = 14/3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2x-3)+8(x-4)=2(2x+6)
Distribute
8x -12 +8x - 32 = 4x +12
Combine like terms
16x -44 = 4x+12
Subtract 4x
16x-4x -44 = 4x+12-4x
12x -44 =12
Add 44 to each side
12x-44+44 = 12+44
12x = 56
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 56/12
x = 14/3
Those expressions are already in scientific notation.
small frames ($8): s
large frames ($15): L
Cost: 8s + 15L = 239 ⇒ 1(8s + 15L = 239) ⇒ 8s + 15L = 239
Quantity: s + L = 22 ⇒ -8( s + L = 22) ⇒ <u> -8s -8 L = -176 </u>
7L = 63
L = 9
Quantity: s + L = 22 ⇒ s + (9) = 22 ⇒ s = 13
Answer: 13 small frames, 9 Large frames
22's answer is because they're alternate
