Answer:
c. 5x - 3 = 125
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances this week because they didn't finish their chores. They then received a total of $125 in allowance. a. 5(x - 3) = 125
b. 5x - 15 = 125
c. 5x - 3 = 125
d. 5x = 140
Solution:
Let x represent the allowance for each of Mrs. Jones children. Since she deducts $3 from each children because they didn't finish their chores, the allowance for each child becomes x - 3.
There are 5 children, hence the allowance for the 5 children would be:
5(x-3)
Since they received a total of $125 in allowance, hence:
5(x-3) = 125
5x - 15 = 125
5x = 125 + 15
5x = 140
Option c is wrong
Answer:
the hypotenuse is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
6^2 + 8^2 = 100
square root 100 and its 10
Answer:
Aiden and his sister have 360 quarters together. If Aiden has twice as much as his sister, he has 180 quarters.
360/2 = 180
Aiden divides his quarters into 3 equal piles.
180/3 = 60
Aiden has 60 quarters in each of his 3 piles.
90 - 50 = 40
40 / 8 = 5
x = 5
