Answer:
x = -3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 5x - 25 = -5x - 28
11x - 25 = -5x - 28
Add 5x to both sides.
16x - 25 = -5x + 5x - 28
16x - 25 = -28
Add 25 to both sides.
16x - 25 + 25 = -28 + 25
16x = -3
Divide both sides by 16
16/16 = 1
-3/16
x = -3/16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the amount of money in the second piggy back
We assume that the second piggy bank has MORE than the piggy bank with $7.31 in it:
x - 7.31 ≤ 10
<u>Solution</u>
Add 7.31 to both sides: x - 7.31 + 7.31 ≤ 10 + 7.31
⇒ x ≤ 17.31
X+a=b
you want to isolate x so subtract a from both sides
x=b-a
