The answer is A the berry first one
You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.
Answer:
Mary- $18
Jane- $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the numbers in the ratio together to get 8, and multiply 8 by the variable of x. Divide the total amount of money that both girls earned by 8. You will get x=6. Multiply 6 by 3 to get the amount of money Mary earned, which is 18, and multiply 6 by 5 to get the amount of money Jane earned, which is 30.
x(3+5) = $48
3x + 5x = $48
8x = $48
8x/8 = $48/8
x = $6
3($6):5($6) = $18:$30
