1/2 (6x - 10) + 10 = 5x - 13
(6x/2) - (10/2) + 10 = 5x - 13
3x - 5 + 10 = 5x - 13
3x - 5x = -13 + 5 - 10
-2x = -18
x = -18 / -2
x = 9
D.) x = 9
Answer:
4
explanation:
well 18 minus 12 would equal 6. correct? so we would add x to 6 so the new equation would be 6 + x = 10 or to make it easier just do 10 - x = 6
Answer:
$11.65
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of 58.25, "of" in math means multiplication. So you multiply it.
To get 20% as a fraction you move the decimal 2 places to the left, and it's .2 or .20 so you get this equation:
.20 * 58.25
So your answer is, $11.65.
To find the total of the bill including the tip it would just be
11.65 + 58.25 = 69.90
1. Let x = #
2. "Five less than six times a number" can be written as: 6x - 5
3. "is at least" is the same as "greater than or equal to" and can be written as: >=
4. "nine subtracted from two times that number" can be written as: 2x - 9
5. the equation is: 6x - 5 >= 2x - 9
6. solve for x by grouping the x variable terms on one side and the constants on the other side:
6x - 5 >= 2x - 9
-2x +5 -2X +5
4x >= -4
7. divide each side by 4, and you get: x = -1
