Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
Answer:
9 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing that the "q" is the total number of quizzes, you can set the equation equal to 12, and solve for w.
12 = w + 3 Subtract 3 both sides
9 = w
Since it is parallel, gradient must be the same so it will be 1/2
y=1/2x+c
-7=1/2(0)+c
c=-7
equation is y=1/2x-7
Answer:
-5.1x + 12.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: first, combine the x terms, obtaining -5.1x.
Next, combine the constants, obtaining 12.3.
The simplified expression is -5.1x + 12.3
