<u>Step</u> <u>Property</u>
2x+6 = 22 given
2x = 16 addition property of equality (-6 added to both sides)
x = 8 multiplication property of equality (both sides × 1/2)
_____
In general equations are solved by reversing the steps done to the variable. Here, the variable (x) is multiplied by 2 and 6 is added to that product. So, to find x, we undo the addition of 6 (by adding -6, the additive inverse), and undo the multiplication by 2 (by multiplying by 1/2, the multiplicative inverse).
If other functions were performed on the variable in the original equation, their inverse functions would be used, too, as part of the solution process.
306 is the total cards sent by all the students in the class. Lets say x is the number of students in class, therefore each student needs to send x-1 cards (since they do not send themselves a card). So depending on your level of math, you could either take the complex way to solve it using quadratic equations, or just find the number that if multiplied by itself then subtracted, gives you 306.

===============
Complex way

So a = 1, b = -1, c=-306
using the quadratic equation:

Answer:let 't' represent the cost of a taco and 'm' represent the cost of a glass of milk
Step-by-step explanation:2.10 = t + m
5.15 = 2t + 3m
