Question

Someone help me out please

Answer 1

Hey there!

150 = 8x + 6y

↠ 150 = 8x + 6(9)

↠ 8x + 6(9) = 150

↠ 8x + 54 = 150

SUBTRACT 54 to BOTH SIDES

8x + 54 - 54 = 150 - 54

CANCEL out: 54 - 54 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 150 - 54 because helps solve for x

↣150 - 54 = 96↢

NEW EQUATION: 8x = 96

DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES

8x/8 = 96/8

CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 96/8 because that gives the value of x

96/8 = x

x = 12

Answer: x = 12

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
