Answer: Jaleel´s method is correct and the right option is option number D
Step-by-step explanation:
its because 2(x-2)
= 2x-4
note 2 is multiplied with both x and -2!
The equation would be 6x+5y=316. X represents the car travelers and the y represents the bus travelers
Let X be the amount of water one person can use.
Multiply that by 5 people to get 5X
That amount plus what they already used ( 4885.78) needs to be less than or equal to the amount they are limited to ( 7250.50 ).
Now write out the equation to get : 5x + 4885.78 ≤ 7250.50
