Answer:

x = 15/8           -> Pls. when you post math questions out there, always tell what you need, otherwise, it becomes a guessing game. Are you trying to Factor/Simplify/Roots/Polynomials, etc? This doesn't pertain to this problem it's just a general statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 - x/5 = x - 1

Put each term in (2 x)/3 - x/5 over the common denominator 15: (2 x)/3 - x/5 = (10 x)/15 - (3 x)/15:

(10 x)/15 - (3 x)/15 = x - 1

(10 x)/15 - (3 x)/15 = (10 x - 3 x)/15:

(10 x - 3 x)/15 = x - 1

10 x - 3 x = 7 x:

(7 x)/15 = x - 1

Multiply both sides by 15:

(15×7 x)/15 = 15 (x - 1)

(15×7 x)/15 = 15/15×7 x = 7 x:

7 x = 15 (x - 1)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

7 x = 15 x - 15

Subtract 15 x from both sides:

7 x - 15 x = (15 x - 15 x) - 15

7 x - 15 x = -8 x:

-8 x = (15 x - 15 x) - 15

15 x - 15 x = 0:

-8 x = -15

Divide both sides of -8 x = -15 by -8:

(-8 x)/(-8) = (-15)/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

x = (-15)/(-8)

Multiply numerator and denominator of (-15)/(-8) by -1:

Answer: x = 15/8

The Ford family decides they want to go see a movie at the local movie theater. The family consists of two adults, and five chil
Brrunno [24]

Ford Family consists of:

a) 2 adults

The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38

b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.

Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39

c) 2 children below the age of 2.

Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14

The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91

In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.
