Answer:
This expression is missing operators and has no meaning. If you add commas to separate the expressions, and equals signs where appropriate, then assistance can be given.
Assuming that the blank spaces between terms are meant to be plus signs, then the final answer would be 9x.
Step-by-step explanation:
To make some sense of this, let's assume that the operator between "5x-4" and "6x-23" is a plus sign, and that the minus sign on "-2x + 33" is itself the operator there. If that is the case then this can be solved by simply grouping like terms and summing them up:
group like terms:
The numbers with no coefficient add up to zero:
Leaving us with the final answer.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!
Answer:
216 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.
Their ratio = 5:12:9
Total = 5+12+9 = 26.
Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26
If weiming sold 28 cookies
⇒ (5x/26)-28
⇒ (5x-728)/28
Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies
The new ratio is 1:8:6
The total cookies becomes = x-28
Therefore,
(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28
(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28
Crossmultiply
28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)
28x-784 = 75x-10920
Collect like terms
28x-75x = -10920+784
-47x = -10136
x = -10136/-47
x = 215.7
x ≈ 216 cookies
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 50r - 6= 82r-70
Add 50r to 82r which equals to 132 r
Now add the the 70 to the left side so -6+70 should equal 76.
Now it should look like this 76=132r
To get the value of r you have to divide 76/132 on both sides of the equation and your answer should be 0.57=r
