Answer:
x=−3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6x+1)−4(x−5)=−2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(6x+1)−4(x−5)=−2
(2)(6x)+(2)(1)+(−4)(x)+(−4)(−5)=−2(Distribute)
12x+2+−4x+20=−2
(12x+−4x)+(2+20)=−2(Combine Like Terms)
8x+22=−2
8x+22=−2
Step 2: Subtract 22 from both sides.
8x+22−22=−2−22
8x=−24
Step 3: Divide both sides by 8.
8x/8=−24/8
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
because I learned this like 4 years ago
Remark
The basic equation is y = mx + b
y = the total amount of money
m = The amount of money he save each month (it is a constant).
b = the y intercept which is his starting amount or 120 dollars.
x = the number of months (this is a variable).
After 3 months he has 840 dollars. That's y
840 = 3*m + 120 Subtract 120 from both sides
840 - 120 = 3m
720 = 3m
240 = m So he saves 240 every month.
Now the equation becomes.
y = 240 * x + 120
Savings after 24 months
y = Total
m = 240 dollars/month
x = 24 months
b = 120
y = 24*240 + 120
y = 5760 + 120
y = 5580
He had 5580 dollars after saving for 2 years (or 24 months total) This assumes that when he started, he took his birthday money and added a 1 month payment to it
The answer is 103 because it’s in the “middle”
