Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
It would be 2 4/5............i hope this helps you
Answer:
u = 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
to evaluate for the value of u we would simply open the bracket and then evaluate for the value of u by collecting the like terms together.
solution
3=7(4 - 2u)-6u
3 = 28- 14u - 6u
collect the like terms
3 + 14u + 6u = 28
20u = 28 - 3
20u = 25
divide both sides by the coefficient of u which is 20
20u/20 = 25/20
u = 5/4
165.63-$18.99= $146.64
$146.64 / .78€ per mi= 188miles
188 miles is your answer
Given:
The area model.
The area of the shape is 82 square units.
To find:
The correct equation for the given situation.
Solution:
We know that, area of a rectangle is

The figure is divided into 3 rectangles. Using this formula, the area of each rectangle is



Now, the total area is equation to 82 square units.



Since the required equation is
, therefore, the correct option is C.
