Answer to the question
-20
Answer:
-1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
rank | 1st | 2nd |TOTAL
------|-----+-------|----------
a | 6 + 9 | =15
b | 7 + 3 | =16
c | 9 + 7 | =23
d | 6 + 7 | =22
e | 8 + 1 | =?
If you add the 1st in line a (6) and you add it to the 1st in line b (7) + the 2nd in line b (3) you get 16. Repeat the same logic/pattern to all c,d..
This is the pattern to all this puzzle;
So the before last term is : 9+6+7 = 22
and the last term : 6+8+1 = 15
Hi!
<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>
5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9
<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>
<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>
5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5
<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>
<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>
5x/5 = 4/5
x = 0.8
Hope this helps! :)
