2(9x-1)+7(x+6)=-60
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+(+18x-2)+7*(x+6)=-60
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+18x-2+7*(+x+6)=-60
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+18x-2+(+7x+42)=-60
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+18x-2+7x+42=-60
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right
+18x+7x=-60+2-42
We simplify left and right side of the equation
+25x=-100
We divide both sides of the equation by 25 to get x
x=-100/25
x=-4

A shopkeeper bought some eggs at ¢15 each. Six of them were broken while the rest were sold at ¢20 each. If he made a profit of

zvonat [6]

In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
= 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
= 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78
