Answer: #20, x = 3
#21, x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
#20) x + 4 + x + 2+ x + 5 = x + 3 +x+3+x+1+x+1
3x + 11 = 4x + 8
<u>-3x -3x</u>
11= x + 8
<u> - 8 - 8</u>
3 = x
#21) 12x(5) = 6x + 9 + x + 10 + x + 7
60x =8x + 26
<u> -8x -8x</u>
52x = 26
divide both sides by 52
x = 1/2
Forks :
20 x 12 = 240
Spoons:
10 x 12 = 120
Knives :
5 x 10 = 50
Paper plates :
175
Total :
175 + 50 + 120 + 240 = 585
