Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - (3x - 9) - 6 = -2(4x - 10) + 5x + 7

solve the brackets by using the distribute property:

1(3x - 9) = 3x - 9

-2(2x - 10) = -8x + 20

rewrite the equation:

24 - 3x - 9 - 6 = -8x + 20 + 5x + 7

combine like therms:

27 - 3x = -3x + 27

subtract 27 from both sides:

27 - 3x - 27 = -3x + 27 - 27

- 3x = -3x

add x to both sides of the equation:

-3x + 3x = -3x + 3x

x = x or 0 = 0

to check, substitute 0 for x

24 - (3(0) - 9) - 6 = -2(4(0) - 10) + 5(0) + 7

anything times 0 is 0

24 - (0 - 9) - 6 = -2(0 - 10) + 0 + 7

solve:

24 + 9 - 6 = 0 + 20 + 0 + 7

27 = 27

There are 680 raisins in 8 bags. If each bag has the same number of raisins, how many raisins are in 12 bags?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

  1020 raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem tells you the number of raisins is proportional to the number of bags, so there will be "r" raisins in 12 bags:

  r/12 = 680/8 = raisins/bag

  r = (12/8)(680) = 1020

There will be 1020 raisins in 12 bags.
