Just asking, what book is it?
First you would distribute the -3
-3x+1+7x=27
Combine like terms
4x+1= 27
Minus 1 on both sides
4x= 26
Divide by 4
X= 6.5
Answer:
$3.90
Step-by-step explanation:
78 cents/lb * 5 lb = (78*5) cents = 390 cents (the pound labels divide out)
But 390 cents = $3.90
Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
9(x+1)=25+x
Distributive property
9x+9=25+x
Subtract x on both sides
9x+9-x=25+x-x
8x+9=25
Subtract 9 on both sides
8x+9-9=25-9
8x=16
Divide 8 on both sides
8/8 x=16/8
x=2
Hope this helps!! :)
