Okay well, just by looking at the graph. It’s a negative slope and the only answer, that has a negative is the 3 one.
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides
8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7
x= -19/7
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
50 - 20 = 30
30 ÷ 1.50 = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).
without that we cannot calculate the actual values.
all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :
a = amount Alberto made
b = amount Benjamin made
c = amount Carlota made
b = 3×a
c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a
that's it.
your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.
and that is missing.
if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have
a + b + c = x
a + 3a + 6a = x
10a = x
a = x/10
b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :
b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10
c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5
