L has "x -3"
S has "x"
x + x - 3 = 17
2x -3 (+3) = 17 (+3)
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10
Leona has x - 3, or 10 - 3, or 7 dollars
Skye has 10 dollars
hope this helps
Answer:
15x + 40 = 115
We set the equation to 115 because the total cost is $115.
We add the "+ 40" because of the $40 to rent the trailer for the day.
The 15x is because it represents the miles per hour (x) times the number of hours.
The number of hours times the charge per mile, plus the $40 to rent it, will equal $115.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
3.92$
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, these equations are pretty easy actually, first thing you should know when working with variables is that you always want to leave the variable alone, let's take the third excersise for example, 12x + 2 = 146. Here you just do the opposite on the other side of the equation depending if the number is positive or negative. Since x is being multiplied by 12 you first get rid of the 2, since its positive you subtract it to 146. Now the answer should be 12x = 144. Now since you're multiplying 12 to x you just divide 12 from 144, 144/12 = 12
x = 12
