Answer:
9 games
Step-by-step explanation:
If he purchase 1 game, he spent $12.50. If he purchased 2 games, he spent 2(12.50) = $25.
This means he spent 12.5x for x number of games.
His total spending will be 12.5x + 20. He has $17.50 left on the card from $150.
150 - (12.5x + 20) = 17.5
150 - 12.5x -20 = 17.5
130 - 12.5x = 17.5
-12.5x = 17.5 - 130
-12.5x = -112.5
x = 9
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(a+1.5)=-1.5
a+1.5 = - 1.5/3 = - 0.5
a = - 0.5 - 1.5 = - 2
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)
(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1
4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1
0= x²-8x
x²-8x=0
x²=8x
x=8
