is =
34.2 more than the number: 34.2 + x

Answer 2

how do i do it do i subtract 34.2 from each side?

Answer 3

\[4.6x = 34.2+x\]
\[4.6x-x=34.2\]
\[3.6x = 34.2\]
\[x=\frac{34.2}{3.6}\]

Answer 4

how did u get 3.6 im sorry im just really confuzed

Answer 10

bob bought a popccorn a hotdog and a soda at the movies for 8.83 popcorn costs one dollar more than a hotdog a soda costs 0.42 cents less than a hotdog how much is the item

Answer 11

Well, what item?
The problem breaks down as:
P=popcorn
H=hotdog
S = soda

P + H +S = 8.83
P+1=H
S-0.42 = H

Answer 12

the first 1 is trying to figure out how much the hot dog is

Answer 13

Ok, So we need to somehow substitute values of H and money into P and S in that first equation.

Answer 14

haha phs was my highschool initials but im in college now but im doing prealgebra

Answer 15

P + H +S = 8.83
P+1=H --> P = H-1
S-0.42 = H ---> S=H+0.42

so
P + H +S = 8.83
becomes
H-1 + H +H+0.42 = 8.83
becomes
3H-1 +0.42 = 8.83
3H = 8.83+1-0.42
3H = 9.83-0.42 = 9.42
H = 9.42/3

Answer 16

3.14?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

expensive hotdog

Answer 19

it said please try again

Answer 20

?

Answer 21

3H = 9.83-0.42 = 9.42 WRONG = 9.41
H = 9.41/3
I don't know if this will make a difference though.
H=3.13 and 2/3
