<span>If 3 is added to the number: x + 3
b) ...and the sum is tripled..
"The sum" is "x + 3" so: 3(x+3)
c) ...the result is 27 more than the number.
27 more than the number is x + 27
d) Put it all together:
3(x + 3) = x + 27
Solve for x:
1) Distribute the left side of the equation:
3x + 9 = x + 27
2) Subtract x from each side of the equation:
2x + 9 = 27
3) Subtract 9 from each side of the equation:
2x = 18
4) Solve for x:
x = 9
Check:
1) x = 9
2) 3(x + 3) = x + 27
3) 3 ([9] + 3) = [9] + 27
4) 3(12) = 9 + 27
5) 36 = 36
So, therefore The answer is correct</span>
Answer:
10 SENIORS
Step-by-step explanation:
x=# of seniors
y=# of juniors
x+y=23, x=2y-7
- plug the value of x in the second equation into the first
- (2y-7)+y=23
- Remove parentheses
- 2y-7+y=23
- Combine like terms
- 3y-7=23
- Add 7 to BOTH sides
- 3y=30
- divide BOTH sides by 3
- 3y/3=30/3
- y=10
- There are 10 juniors in the class
- FINAL STEPS
- Plug y (which is 10) into the first equation
- x+y=23
- x+10=23
- subtract 10 from BOTH sides
- x=13
- Since X equals the number of seniors, there are 10 seniors in the class
