Answer: the wise man is 79
Step-by-step explanation:
400 - 3x = 163
400–163 =3x
237 = 3x or 3x = 237 or x = 79…
Answer: 195
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per student = $4
Total number who attended = n
The cost of the total of student who attended will be cost per student multiplied by the total number of students, that is
Total cos = 4n
Since, they are to pay $140 , for publicity, then the total cost becomes
T = 4n - 140
From the last statement
4n - 140 ≥ 640
4n ≥ 640 + 140
4n ≥780
n ≥ 780/4
n ≥ 195
That means at least 195 students must attend if the science club is to earn at least $ 640

Answer: choice C) 15</h3>
Simplify the left side to get
2(4+x)+(13+x)
2(4)+2(x) +13+x
8+2x+13+x
3x+21
------------
So the original equation
2(4+x)+(13+x) = 3x+k
turns into
3x+21 = 3x+k
------------
Subtract 3x from both sides
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21-3x = 3x+k-3x
21 = k
k = 21
-----------
If k = 21, then the original equation will have infinitely many solutions. This is because we will end up with 3x+21 on both sides, leading to 0 = 0 after getting everything to one side. This is a true equation no matter what x happens to be.
If k is some fixed number other than 21, then there will be no solutions. This equation is inconsistent (one side says one thing, the other side says something different). If k = 15, then
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21 = 3x+15
21 = 15 .... subtract 3x from both sides
The last equation is false, so there are no solutions here.
note: if you replace k with a variable term, then there will be exactly one solution.
