Answer:

X = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to isolate X by itself. To isolate X on one side of the = sign, use the addition property of equality (to undo the subtraction of 6 from x) by adding 6 to both sides of the equation. We use the addition property of equality because this is the inverse operation. It is important to add 6 to both sides of to maintain an equivalent equation.

1. Set up your equation

X - 6 = -24

+6 +6

2. Solve out

X - 6 = -24

Answer:

a. $6x+1240=12484$

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=65\\x_2=2x_1\\x_3=x_1+2\\x_4=0.25x_2$

c. $5x+20=415$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. In the account are 6 deposits of the paid that Tom gets each month and the initial $1240. Let $x$ be the paid Tom gets each month, then:

$6x+1240=12484$

Solving for $x$ :

$6x=12484-1240\\6x=11244\\x=\frac{11244}{6} \\x=1874\\$

b)Let $x_1$ be pounds contained in the first box, $x_2$ the pound in the second box, $x_3$ the pounds in the third box and $x_4$ the pound in the fourth box, then:
