It equals 26x because you add the 24 to the 2x
Answer:
a. C = 12x + 110; b. $290
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The polynomial
Let L = cost of flip-flops
and S = cost of sandals
Then
C = L + S
= 40 + 4x + 70 + 8x
= 12x + 110
b. The cost
C = 12 × 15 + 110
= 180 + 110
= $290
The cost of making 15 flip-flops and 15 sandals is $290.
Answer:
x =4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3(x-7)= -2
Multiply each side by 3/2 to clear the fractions
3/2 * 2/3(x-7)= -2 *3/2
x-7 = -3
Add 7 to each side
x-7+7 = -3+7
x =4
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
