Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by working backwards.
7 is one more than half the number of invitations.
Subtract 1. 6 is half the number of invitations.
Double.
12 is the full number of invitations.
Algebra (if you must!):
x = number of invitations
x/2 + 1 = 7
Subtract 1.
x/2 = 6
Multiply by 2.
x = 12
The answer to this question is -154
The answers are A and F.
You can tell by looking at the slopes and seeing that they've been flipped and one is positive while the other is negative.
Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.
Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5
Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true
SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
What variable expression should you subtract from both sides of the equation so that you are left with no variables on the right-hand side?
The variable expression is: subtract 5x from both sides so that you are left with no variables on the right-hand side
CONCLUSION:
The final answer is:
