If you are suppose to find how much the spent all together then it would be 21. 09
B it is linear Bc it increases constantly. There is a constant slope that doesn’t change
2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20 Distribute
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20 Combine Like Terms
3x+14=20
- 14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 6/3 Divide Both Sides by 3
x = 2
Let me know if you still don't understand
2)The goal is to isolate the variable and get is down to x<?. This is actually a two step inequality problem. 0.7x - 2 < 5.5 +2 +2 0.7x<7.5 This implies: x<10.714 The way to graph this is to place an open circle of the number 10.714 on the number line indicating this number is not included as a solution to the inequality. Then draw the arrow going left from the open circle indicating all numbers from -∞ to 10.714.
