Answer:
friend this is not a formula
Step-by-step explanation:
ax ± b = c. All problems like the following lead eventually to an equation in that simple form.
Jane spent $42 for shoes. This was $14 less than twice what she spent for a blouse. How much was the blouse?
Solution. Every word problem has an unknown number. In this problem, it is the price of the blouse. Always let x represent the unknown number. That is, let x answer the question.
Let x, then, be how much she spent for the blouse. The problem states that "This" -- that is, $42 -- was $14 less than two times x.
Here is the equation:
2x − 14 = 42.
2x = 42 + 14
= 56.
x = 56
2
= 28.
The blouse cost $28.
