first, distribute -6 to (2b + 1), giving you -12b - 6, and then on the another side of the equation, distribute -2 to (5 + 4b) giving you, -10 - 8b. now we need to put our coefficients on one side so we will add 8b to each side of the equation, giving us -6 = -10 - 8b + 12b, then we will add 10 to both sides of the equation giving us, 10 -6 = -8b +12b, this gives u 4 = 4b. then, you would solve for b, which equals 1.
I think the answer to the questions is letter
C i could be wrong so sorry
Answer:x is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer here is 6.25.
I've already worked on this quiz.~
Your mistake is that week 3 is twice of week 2
week2=x+5, twice of that is 2(x+5)=2x+10, you did not distribute the 2 to the 5 and you got 2x+5, that is your mistake
x is first week
2nd week is y
3rd is z
5 more the 2nd week than 1st week
x+5=y
3rd week is double 2nd wee
z=2y
total is 431
x+y+z=431
sub
y=5+x and z=2y
x+5+x+2y=431
sub 5+x for y
x+5+x+2(5+x)=431
x+5+x+10+2x=431
4x+15=431
minus 15
4x=416
divide by 4
x=104
add 4
x+5=109
double
2*109=218
they sold
1st week: 104
2nd week: 109
3rd week: 218
