5h - 3 = 17
First, substitute h for 4 and the equation becomes 5(4)-3
Then, use PEMDAS (order of operations) to answer.
5 x 4 = 20
20 - 3 = 17
Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?
In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.
Use the formula
a_n = a_1•r^(n-1)
a_23 = 25•(1.8)^(23 - 1)

For

,

, all the more

, therefore no solution.
For

, we have

. Obviously that' false.
For

both

and

, where

, belong to the range

, then

belong to the range

.
Those ranges don't have a common part, therefore, again, no solution.
So, the equation

doesn't have a solution.
For 44
7x2=14
14+8=22
22x2=44
Is this ok, I hope I helped :)
