The anwer of this question is c
1/4x -2 = -6 + 5/12x
3x - 24 = -72 +5x
3x -5x = -72 +24
-2x = -48
x = 24
“Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers” means P = 10 + E
“A pencil costs $0.15” means that $0.15*P was spent on pencils
“an eraser costs $.22” means that $0.22*E was spent on erasers
“He paid a total of $4.46” means that $0.15*P + $0.22*E = $4.46
15*(10+E) + 22*E = 446
150 + 37E = 446
37E = 296
E = 8 Jesse bought 8 erasers
Answer:
4x+7 = 5x-20
(reason: vertical angles are congruent; property used: distributive)
7 = 1x-20
1x = 7+20
1x = 27
x = 27
