3x-5=2x-6
Move 2x to the same side as 3x.
3x-2x = x
X-5=-6
add 5 to the -6.
X = 5-6
X=-1
==> I can't be sure of the equation. There's a blank space
between '5t' and '8', where an operation must be.
I think the operation is more likely ' + ' (addition). Brainly usually
does show the ' - ' if it's subtraction, but goes blank if it's addition.
Tell you what I'll do: Since you sound so desperate, and you're being
so generous with your points, I'll show you how to figure it out both ways.
----------------------------------------
If it's subtraction: 5t - 8 = 43
Add 8 to each side: 5t = 51
Divide each side by 5 : t = 51/5
t = 10 and 1/5
--------------------------------------------
If it's addition: 5t + 8 = 43
Subtract 8 from each side: 5t = 35
Divide each side by 5 : t = 7
12=8 18=12 24=16 (find 2/3 of each one)
So 8, 12 and 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.
Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be
12 × x = 12x
She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be
12 × 2 = 24 cookies
She brings 60 cookies to the party.
The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be
12x = 24 + 60
12x = 84
x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
I’m pretty sure it 19 :-)
