Answer:
x = 4
Move variables to the right and constants to the left. Then divide.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 10 = 7.5x (Given)
-2.5x = -10 (subtraction property of equality)
x = 4 (division property of equality)
Answer:
60 books
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of books Willy has be x , then
Tammy has 4x books
Willy has 180 fewer books , that is Tammy has 180 more than Willy , so
4x = x + 180 ( subtract x from both sides )
3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 60
Thus
Willy has 60 books andTammy has 4 × 60 = 240 books
which is 180 more than Willy

Answer:
5 of the 7 boxes are 8 inches in height
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically;
1 ft = 12 inches
So, 5 ft will measure 5 * 12 = 60 inches
So from what we have ,
We want to combine 8 and 10 inches to give 60 inches total
Let the number of 10 inches be x and the number of 8 inches be y
Mathematically;
x + y = 7 •••••(i)
10x + 8y = 60 ••••(ii)
From equation i, x = 7-y
Put this in equation ii
10(7-y) + 8y = 60
70-10y + 8y = 60
70-60 = 10y-8y
2y = 10
y = 10/2
y = 5
