<span>m-3x=2x+p
m-x=p (- 2x on both sides)
-x=p-m (- m on both sides)
answer: x=-p+m (divide -1 on both side)

Each person received one quarter, which can be written as 1/4 or 0.25.
6(2x - 11) + 15 = 21
First step use distributive property on the left side to remove the parenthesis, to do this multiply 6 by each term inside the parenthesis:
12x - 66 + 15 = 21
Second step, simplify the left side by combining the like terms:
12x - 51 = 21
Third step, add 51 to both sides of the equation:
12x = 72
Last step, divide both sides by 12:
x = 72/12
x = 6
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 3 as x in the expression:
10 - 2x
10 - 2(3)
10 - 6
= 4
