2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20 Distribute
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20 Combine Like Terms
3x+14=20
- 14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 6/3 Divide Both Sides by 3
x = 2
Let me know if you still don't understand
Answer:
6x-24y
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: -30x-12y+36x-12y
Distribute-3 to 10x and 4y
Then distribute 6 to 6x and -2y
Step 2: 6x-24y
After that add up like terms
Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.
At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,
3 b + 5 c = 11.00 [1]
His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,
1 b + 2 c = 3.95
b = 3.95 - 2c [2]
If we replace [2] in [1], we get
3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00
11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00
c = 0.85
If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get
b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25
Well that's easy. Just plug in the numbers: 3*(-2)+4*(5)=14. So yes the solution is correct.
