Answer:

It will take 2 snacks for Benjamin and Landon to spend the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume they bought x snacks

∵ Benjamin spends $9.50 for a movie ticket at Emagine and $4.50

  for each snack

∵ He bought x snacks

→ Multiply the number of snacks by 4.50 and add it to 9.50

∴ The amount he spent = 4.50x + 9.50

∵ Landon spends $8 for a movie ticket at AMC and $5.25 for each snack

∵ He bought x snacks

→ Multiply the number of snacks by 5.25 and add it to 8

∴ The amount he spent = 5.25x + 8

∵ They spent the same amount of money

→ Equate the right sides of their amount spent

∴ 5.25x + 8 = 4.50x + 9.50

→ Subtract 4.50x from both sides

∵ 5.25x - 4.50x + 8 = 4.50x - 4.50x + 9.50

∴ 0.75x + 8 = 9.50

→ Subtract 8 from both sides

∵ 0.75x + 8 - 8 = 9.50 - 8

∴ 0.75x = 1.50

→ Divide both sides by 0.75

∴ x = 2

∵ x represents the number of snacks they bought

∴ It will take 2 snacks for Benjamin and Landon to spend the same amount

Solve 4x − 2(x + 1) = 3x + 10. −12 12 −8 8
Dominik [7]
Original Equation: 4x - 2(x+1) = 3x + 10

Step 1: Use Distributive Property
4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 2: Combine Like Terms
2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 3: Solve
       2x - 2 = 3x + 10
     - 2x        -2x 
--------------------------------
      -2 = x + 10
    -10         -10
------------------------
    -12 = x

25 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST

Answer:

4.24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Irina can paint 1/9 of a room in 1 hour since she can paint a room in 9 hours. 1/9x, where x is the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour is her speed, would be her part of the calculation.

Paulo can paint 1/8 of a room in 1 hour since he can paint an entire room in 8 hours. 1/8x, where x is the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour is his speed, would be his part of the equation.

1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room plus Paulo's portion of the room equals one complete room) would be the equation.

Look for a denominator that has the same value as the numerator. Both 9 and 8 split evenly into 72 as the initial number. We multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x because 9*8 = 72. We multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fraction and get 9/72x because 8*9 = 72. We have 8/72x+9/72x=1 currently.

17/72x=1

÷ both sides by 17/72:

17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72

∴ x=1/1 * 72/17

∴ x=72/17= 4.24
