Answer:

$19.68

Step-by-step explanation:

this is not really clearly defined.

I assume it means that they are buying the item, no matter how much it costs, and that the split ratio between them also remains the same no matter the actual cost.

x = what Marcia is paying

and 132 - 18% = 132 × (100 - 18) / 100 = 132×0.82 = 108.24

so,

x + x/2 + x/3 = 108.24

6x + 3x + 2x = 649.44

11x = 649.44

x = $59.04

Mario's part is x/3 = 59.04/3 = $19.68

How do you use the distributive property to solve for x in the equation -2(x + 5) = 4
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(x + 5) = 4 ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

- 2x - 10 = 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 2x = 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 7
