=7.2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 1.5) = 22.5
5x - 7.5 = 22.5
5x = 15
x = 3
Answer:
(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of n and 5 is (n + 5), then multiply by 3 gives
3(n + 5)
The result is at least 17 which means it must be greater than or equal to 17
3(n + 5) ≥ 17
Answer:
x= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x-14=-2
We move all terms to the left:
-2x-14-(-2)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-2x-12=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-2x=12
x=12/-2
x=-6
4c + 5h = 650 and
5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers
Start by finding an expression for c
4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4
Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50
Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c
C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100
Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.
4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650
5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800
