Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(-3+x)=-4

Use distributive property (Multiply -2 by -3 which gives you 6vand multiply -2 by x which gives you -2x )

6-2x=-4

Bring the 6 over to the other side

-2x=-4-6

-2x=-10

Divide both sides by -2 to get x by itself

x=5

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(-3+ x) = -4

Distribute

-2 * -3 + (-2) *x = -4

6 -2x = -4

Subtract 6 from each side

6 -2x-6 = -4-6

-2x = -10

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = -10/-2

x = 5

Daniel has $100. After he buys 4 pencils and 3 pens, he has $7 left. If each pencil costs $3 more than each pen, is $25 enough t
amm1812

Answer:  Yes, Daniel has enough money to buy 2 pens.

=========================================================

Explanation:

x = cost of one pencil

y = cost of one pen

4x = cost of 4 pencils

3y = cost of 3 pens

4x+3y = cost of 4 pencils and 3 pens

100 - (4x+3y) = amount Daniel has left = 7 dollars

100-(4x+3y) = 7 is one equation we can form

Another equation we can form is x = y+3 because "each pencil costs $3 more than each pen".

Let's plug that into the first equation and solve for y.

100-(4x+3y) = 7

100-(4(y+3)+3y) = 7

100 - (4y+12+3y) = 7

100 - (7y+12) = 7

100 - 7y - 12 = 7

-7y + 88 = 7

-7y = 7-88

-7y = -81

y = -81/(-7)

y = 11.57 is the cost of one pen

2y = 2*11.57 = 23.14 is the cost of two pens.

Since this is less than $25, this means he has enough to buy two pens. This assumes that we either ignore tax, or the tax is already included in the listed prices.

Answer:

$6 per week, $600 total

Step-by-step explanation:

$30 total divided equally by 5 weeks = $6 per week. She will rase $6 per week.

After she raises $30 more, her total will be $200. Since her father and mother will also match her total they will both give $200.

$200+$200+$200 (Father+mother+Jane)=$600 total by the family
