Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
10s + -2s
<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>
- Rewrite: 10s - 2s
- Combine like terms: 8s
Answer:
boys + girls = 45 -------(1)
There boys 17 more than girls, boys = girls + 17 ----------(2)
substitute (2) in (1)
girls + 17 + girls = 45
2 x girls + 17 = 45
2 x girls = 45 - 17
2 x girls = 28
girls = 14
substitute in (2): boys = girls + 17 = 14 + 17 = 31
option D
Group together the like terms (plus 2x with 2x) (subtract 10 by 6)
4x+4=36
Move plus four to the other side as a negative
4x=32
Divide both sides by 4
32 divided by 4 is 8
Therefore, x is equal to 8
