Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
11.5x+22 equal to -13x+218
11.5x+22=-13x+218
Now you have an equation. Solve for x:
11.5x+22+13x=-13x+13x+218 (add 13x to both sides)
24.5x+22=218
24.5x+22-22=218-22 (subtract 22 from both sides)
24.5x=196
x=196÷24.5
x=8
After 8 weeks their balances would be the same.
Their balances will be:
11.5x+22=11.5(8)+22=114$
and
-13x+218=-13(8)+218=114$
So, 114$ each.
Hope this was helpful.
Product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number:
sum of 4 and a number: (4 + n)
Product of 8
8 x (4 + n) is 112
8 x (4 + n) = 112
Distribute
32 + 8n = 112
Subtratc
8n = 80
Divide by 8
n = 10
The number is 10, and next time please put options because it says "Which equation could be used to solve for the number?" Thanks! :)
