Answer:
I will assume that the term "x+2/2" is meant to be "(x + 2)/2)." Otherwise the equation would read (x/3) = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x/3) = (x + 2)/2
x = 3*(x+2)/2 [Multiply both sides by 3]
x = (3x + 6)/2
x = (3/2)x + 6/2
x - (3/2)x = 3
-0.5x = 3
x = -6
====================
Check:
Does (x/3) = (x + 2)/2 for x = -6?
(-6/3) = (-6 + 2)/2
-2 = -4/2
-2 = -2 YES
First do 43 - 30= $13 for two hats
so for one hat you do 13 divided by 2 which equals= <u>$6.50</u> for one hat
then you do 30 - 13= $17 for two pairs of gloves
so for one pair of gloves you do 17 divided by 2=<u> $8.50</u> for one pair of gloves
