Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
It’s plus 9 so the next number should be 32
<span>To write a two-variable equation, you would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, you would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. You could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. Your variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation you could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.</span>
Answer:
The number is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable <em>x</em>.
80 - 3x = 5x + 8
First, let's add 3x to both sides.
80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8
80 = 8x + 8
Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.
80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8
72 = 8x
Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.
72/8 = 8x/8
9 = x
<em>"x" is 9.</em>
<em>So the secret number is 9.</em>
