The answer is the third one :)
Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!
X = 0. Since the absolute value of -2x+6 is 2x+6, the absolute value sign acts as () so it would be -4(2x+6) = -24. That would come out to be -8x -24 = -24. Using proper algebra, the answer would come out to be 0

the answer is 70.84. hope this helps
Answer= 6.5y+12
distribute the 5 in the parentheses:
(-6y-3) + (15+12.5y)
(you can take away the parentheses after this step)
then add like terms together.
12.5y + (-6y) = 6.5y
15 + (-3) = 12
make it one expression.
6.5y + 12
