You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
Answer:
1. C
2. D
3. C
Explanation:
1. Girls = 12 plus twice the number of boys, so C. y = 12 + 2x.
2. You have to see which point has the second value being greater than the first value:
A) -1 > -2 is not true
B) 0 > 1 is not true
C) 2 > 3 is not true
D) 8 > 4 is true, so it's D
3. Add the two values and see if it's less than 5
A) -1-4 < 5 is true
B) 0 + 4 < 5 is true
C) 1 + 7 < 5 is not true, so this is the answer
D) 2 + 2 < 5 is true
3 x 15 = 45
3 x 14 = 42

x = 42/3
-----> 3x=42
The answer is $116.18. 135 is 116.2% of the previous year.
