4(4x + 6) - 7 = 77 - 4x......distribute thru the parenthesis
16x + 24 - 7 = 77 - 4x ...simplify
16x + 17 = 77 - 4x ...addition property of equality....add 4x to both sides
16x + 4x + 17 = 77 ...subtraction property ...subtract 17 from both sides
16x + 4x = 77 - 17...combine like terms
20x = 60 ....division property....divide both sides by 20
x = 60/20
x = 3

Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the cost of drinks be x
and the cost of hotdogs be y
so
3x+4y=15-------1
also
3x+y= 10.5------2
solve 1 and 2
3x+4y=15
-3x+y= 10.5
3y= 4.5
divide both sides by 3
y= 4.5/3
y= $1.5
Put y= 1.5 in 1
3x+4(1.5)=15
3x+6= 15
3x=15-6
3x= 9
x= 9/3
x= $3
Hence the cost of a drink is $3
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
The trick is to pick something that should be very easy to get an answer to. If you use a calculator, you are not estimating. 80 divide by 4 is like 8 divide by 4 which gives you 2. Then just add a zero. Here's another one you can try. Put your calculator away to do it. 12 chicken noodle soup cans cost 14 dollars. About how much does 1 can cost
no cheating. No calculator. Is the cost of 1 can more or less than a dollar? If you said more, you've estimated correctly.
Try it the other way. Suppose one can of the soup costs 0.95 cents. How many will 12 cans cost? More or less than 12 dollars.
If you said less, you are estimating correctly. The most useful gift you can take away from any math class is estimation.
