It is given in the question that
Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.
Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.
And the total messages are 89. That is
Combining like terms
So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent
And Kareem sent
You can divided each by 4 and get this easy answer..
100 divided by 4= 25. Hope it helps!
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)
4+−1(2y+5)=3(1−4y)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
4+−1(2y)+(−1)(5)=3(1−4y)
4+−2y+−5=3(1−4y)
4+−2y+−5=(3)(1)+(3)(−4y)(Distribute)
4+−2y+−5=3+−12y
(−2y)+(4+−5)=−12y+3(Combine Like Terms)
−2y+−1=−12y+3
−2y−1=−12y+3
Step 2: Add 12y to both sides.
−2y−1+12y=−12y+3+12y
10y−1=3
Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.
10y−1+1=3+1
10y=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.
10y

I am not sure if you have any choices. Here are some options:
0.17333333333
This is also notated by .1733 with a line over the top of the two 3's indicating that these number continue repeating.
Other choices depending on your instructions...
.173 (if rounded to thousanths)
.17 (if rounded to hundreths)
.2 (if rounded to tenths)
Living comfortably after you retire is the answer
