We need to subtract: the scientist needed 57,500 dollars, but already had 32,506, so we need to find what's left: 57,500 - 32,506 = 24,992 dollars
Your answer is A. Hope that helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the number
x + 1/6x + 2 1/2x + 7 = 12 1/2
3 + (1/6 + 1/2)x = 12 1/2 - 7
3 + (1/6 + 3/6)x = 5 1/2
3 2/3x = 5 1/2
x = (11/2) / (11/3)
x = 11 / 2 * 3 / 11
x = 3/2
x = 1 1/2
3x−2y=12;−3x+8y=−6
Step: Solve3x−2y=12for x:
3x−2y=12
3x−2y+2y=12+2y(Add 2y to both sides)
3x=2y+12
3x
