Answer: -5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(4x + -28) = 9x
Reorder the terms:
(-28 + 4x) = 9x
Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x
-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-28 + -5x = 0
Add '28' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
0 + -5x = 0 + 28
-5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28
-5x = 28
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -5.6
Simplifying
x = -5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 50
x + 5y = 31
use substitution
x = 31-5y
3(31-5y) +5y = 50
93 -15y + 5y = 50
93 - 10y = 50
--10y = -43
y = 43/10 = $4.30 for kids
now solve for x
x + 5(4.30) = 31
x + 21.5 = 31
x = $9.5 for adults
