Hi there!
10. the number: x
4 more = addition
5 times = multiplication
less then 54 = 54 >
4 + 5x = <54
Hope this helps!
This equation is not factor-able, so we can use the quadratic formula.
x=(-11+square root(11^2-4(-12*-3)))/(2*-12)
x=(-11+square root(-23))/(-24)
Since we have the square root of a negative in this equation, there are no real roots for the quadratic.
Simplifying makes a algebric expression easily understandable and solvable.
250 = 167.93 + x
[She needs $250, she has $167.93, and she needs x more. x represents the amount of money she still needs in order to get 250]
250 = 167.93 + x Subtract 167.93 on both sides
250 - 167.93 = 167.93 + x - 167.93
250 - 167.93 = x
82.07 = x
She needs $82.07 more
Or you could have done:
250 - 167.93 = 82.07
