2x + 4(-6x + 12) = -84
2x - 24x + 48 = -84
-22x + 48 = -84
-22x = -84 - 48
-22x = -132
x = -132/-22
x = 6
hope this helps, God bless!
Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
Discount is a form of consideration in price or amount given to a customer on a sale of goods. It can be deduced from the question that;
The original price of each plant = $x
Number of plants purchased = 20
Price of the number of plants purchased without discount = $20x
Amount paid for the 20 plants with discount = $(20x - 80)
Thus,
The discount on the 20 plants = $80
Discount on each plant =
=
= $4
Discount on each plant = $4
Therefore, each plant was discounted by $4.
Answer:
y=50 and x=-173/2
Step-by-step explanation:
52-2y=-48
∴-2y=-100
y=50
and 2x+3y=-23
y=50→(1)
2x+3y=-23→(2)
Putting y=50 in equation (2), we get
⇒2x+3y=-23
⇒2x+3(50)=-23
⇒2x+150=-23
⇒2x=-23-150
⇒2x=-173
⇒x=-173/2
∴y=50 and x=-173/2
Will got 12 and John got 24.
You would set the equation as:
36=n+2n
Combine like terms
36=3n
Divide 3 from both sides
12=n
If you want to check it
12+2(12)=36
12+24=36
36=36
