Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Has to be the opposite
Answer: the answer is x=72
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: simplify both sides we know 15=x/4 -3 (the x holds a invisible 1)
the equation should look something Like: 15=1/4x-3 then FLIP the equation such as:
1/4x-3=15 then add 3 on both sides so 15+3=18
step 2: our equation is now 1/4x=18 (we see 4 is being divided the opposite of division is multiply) therefor multiply the 18 with 4
18*4=72 which means x=72
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we would like to solve the following equation for x:

to do so isolate
to right hand side and change its sign which yields:

simplify Substraction:

get rid of only x:

simplify addition of the left hand side:

divide both sides by q+p Which yields:

cross multiplication:

distribute:

isolate -pq to the left hand side and change its sign:

rearrange it to standard form:

now notice we end up with a <u>quadratic</u><u> equation</u> therefore to solve so we can consider <u>factoring</u><u> </u><u>method</u><u> </u><u> </u>to use so
factor out x:

factor out q:

group:

by <em>Zero</em><em> product</em><em> </em><em>property</em> we obtain:

cancel out p from the first equation and q from the second equation which yields:

and we are done!
M+m+z/3=3m
m+m+z=9m
2m+z=9m
z=7m
m+m+7m/3=3m
9m=9m
m=1
1+1+z/3=3
2+z=9
z=7
idk but i think that one person gets paid 7 dollars and the other ppl get paid 1 dollar----- this is probably veryyyyy wrong
