It's determined by the information given to you in a equation.
Answer- <em>X=12</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
X + 9/7 = 3 is our equation
Then we are going to do the opposite of dividing 7 from 9 which is multiplying 7 from 9. (on both sides)
It will leave us with - X + 9 = 21
Then we will do the opposite of adding 9 to X which is subtracting 9 from X. (also on both sides) ( whenever you do any adding or subtracting or multiplying or dividing on one side you have to do it on the other for the equation to be true)
Now it will leave us with X = 12
And that's our answer! :>
12.50 x 40 = 500; this is his first week pay from $12.50 an hour for 40 hours
(15 x 55) + 100 = 925; this is the second pay from $15 an hour for 55 hours and an additional $100
Hope this helps! (If not correct me if its wrong xd)
By substitution.
Get y or x alone then insert it into the other equation solving for one of the two variables. After that substitute ur answer into one of the equations then solve.
