Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
First we set up our equation. From the picture we can see that:
11 + x + 1 = 2x + 12
Now we can gather our like terms:
x + 12 = 2x + 12
Lets subtract x from both sides to isolate the x on the left:
12 = x + 12
Next we subtract 12 from both sides
x = 0
Check the answer
11 + 0 + 1 = 2(0) + 12
12 = 0 + 12
12 = 12
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
First since the perimeter of this problem is P=2b x 2h I first multiplied 26 by 2 and got 52 inches. then I subtracted 52 from 180 and got 128. From there I divide 128 by 2 and I got 64 for the length
