Answer:
3/5 is the number that can be distributed across two terms inside parentheses.
you might not need it but:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>3/5(x - 10)</u> = 18 - 4x - 1
using distributive property, open the parentheses:
<u>3/5x - 6 </u>= 18 - 4x - 1
Simplify:
3/5x + 4x = 17 + 6
4⅗x = 23
x = 5
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Salma and Jared each threw 5 darts at the target shown. Salma scored 19 points by landing 2 darts in A and 3 in B. Jared scored 17 points by landing 1 dart in A and 4 in B. How many points are given for a dart landing in A?
this can be solved using simultaneous equation. Two equations can be formed from the question
2a + 3b = 19 equation 1
1a + 4b = 17 equation 2
Multiply equation 2 by 2
2a + 8b = 34 equation 3
Subtract equation 1 from 3
5b = 15
divide both sides of the equation by 5
b = 3
Substitute for b in equation 1
2a + 3(3) = 19
2a = 9 = 19
collect like terms
2a = 10
divide both sides of the equation by 2
a = 5
