Answer: there is only one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
Answer:
Number of girls = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
girls : boys = 5 : 4
Number of girls = 5x
Number of boys = 4x
Total students = 27
5x +4x = 27
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
Number of girls = 5x = 5*3 = 15
The answer is fairly simple. Each week they sing 8 songs, and so in 5 weeks they would sing 8x5 songs (which is 40) in 6 weeks, they would sing 8x6 songs (which is 48) and in 7 weeks 7x8 songs (which is 56)
