Answer:
1.50x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to figure out how many you can buy, so we will put x in there and it will all equal 18, therefore heres that equal sign. so yeh.
Answer:
The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:

and not 
Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.
I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.
Solving the equation

Using distribution

Add
both sides


Add 12 both sides

Divide both sides by 5

X^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
subtract 13 from both sides
x^2 - 8x = -13
-8/2 = -4, (-4)^2 = 16, add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 + 16
factor the left side
(x - 4)^2 = 3
Answer:
x ≠ 4 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
the denominator cannot be zero, so factor the bottom equation to get the zeros and those are the domain restrictions.
3x^2 - 6x - 24 ≠ 0
3(x^2 - 2x - 8) ≠ 0 (factor out a 3)
3(x - 4)(x + 2) ≠ 0 (factor equation)
x ≠ 4, x ≠ -2 (use zero product property to find zeros)
