Hello! I would love to help!
Let's start with this part of the equation: "the sum of a number and seven"
Alright. We know that x represents an unknown number. Do you see a part of the equation that could translate to "an unknown number?"
I see "a number." So let's fill X in for "a number.
Alright. So now we have "the sum of x and 7."
Next, let's remember that sum means adding. So we just need to 7 to x
X+7
So, now instead of "the sum of a number and 7" we have x+7.
Alright. Now we just have to do the "twice." When it is asking for "twice", it is asking us to multiply our answer by two. But we need to multiply both x and 7. The best way to do that is to put our "x+7" in parenthesis and put a two outside.
2(x+7)
That's your answer! 2(x+7)
Hope this helped! Comment if you have any questions!
Integers are closed under subtraction.
4/5(v - 7) = 2...distribute the 4/5 thru the parenthesis
4/5v - 28/5 = 2 ...multiply everything by 5
4v - 28 = 10...add 28 to both sides
4v = 10 + 28
4v = 38
v = 38/4 reduces to 19/2 or 9 1/2 <==
Answer:
A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:
5
g
+
4
l
=
48
4
g
+
6
l
=
58
Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:
20
g
+
16
l
=
192
20
g
+
30
l
=
290
Subtract the first equation from the second gives:
14
l
=
98 which dividing by 14 gives l
=
7
Substituting the value l
=
7 in the first equation gives:
5
g
+
28
=
48
Subtract 20 from both sides gives:
5
g
=
20 divide by 5 gives g
=
4
So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the numbers you are given, you see that the first purchase has 3 more adult tickets than the second purchase, and its cost is £24 more. This means an adult ticket costs £24/3 = £8.
Two adult tickets will cost 2×£8 = £16, so three child tickets cost ...
£31 -16 = £15
Each child ticket is then £15/3 = £5.
An adult ticket costs £8; a child ticket costs £5.
