First answer is -5.
Second answer is -1.
The answer is the sixth grade class.
In order to find the answer, you have to divide each grade's total by the number of hours it took them to make that money, which will give you the amount each class makes per hour.
$170 / 55 = $3.09
$112 / 44 = $2.54
$192 / 66 = $2.91
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 = 5x
Bringing like terms on one side
1 = 5x - 3x
1 = 2x
1/2 = x
You have to isolate x. First you start off by adding the like terms which is -3x and -x. By adding them you get -4x.
8 - 4x = 12
Then you subtract 8 on both sides since it is positive to isolate x.
-4x = 4
Then you divide -4 by both sides and get x=4/-4
4/-4 is simplified to -1 so the answer is x= -1
Steps to solve:
-4z + 4 + 12z = 3z + 4 + 5z
~Combine like terms
8z + 4 = 8z + 4
~Subtract 4 to both sides
8z = 8z
~Divide 8 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.
Set builder notation: {x | R}
This is an identity since every value can be a solution to the equation.
Best of Luck!
