OK. Even though you only gave me part of the paragraph, I read that much, and I think I'm ready to select the correct answer now. What are the choices ?
3(x−5)/2=2(x+5)/3
Cross-multiply.
(3(x−5))/2=(2(x+5))/3
3(x−5)*(3)=2(x+5)*(2)
9x−45=4x+20
Subtract 4x from both sides.
9x−45−4x=4x+20−4x
5x−45=20
Add 45 to both sides.
5x−45+45=20+45
5x=65
Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5=65/5
x=13
This is an expression if she only gets pedicure
y = 35
If she wants to get massage, multiply the cost for a minute with the number of minutes.
Find cost per minute first
cost = 50/20
cost = 2.5
So the expression would be
y = 35 + 2.5x
y = 2.5x + 35
-x - y = -5
y = x + 1
-x -(x + 1) = -5
-x - x - 1 = -5
-2x = -5 + 1
-2x = -4
x = -4/-2
x = 2
y = x + 1
y = 2 + 1
y = 3
solution is : (2,3)
Answer:
y = 2/3x
