Question

Suppose you spent $74.95 for a shirt and a jacket. The shirt cost $20.25. Solve the equation 20.25+j=74.95 to find how much you spent on the jacket.

You can work a simpler problem to estimate an answer. Use number sense to solve 20+j=75

Answer 1

They've given you the formula. You just need to solve for \(j\).

Answer 2

i'm really bad at math

Answer 3

If I told you 4 plus a number equals 9, how would you figure out what "the number" is? Tell me your process.

Answer 4

9-4

Answer 5

??

Answer 6

Exactly! Good.

Answer 7

5

Answer 8

So now do the same thing for your question. It's the exact same thing.

Answer 9

so it would be 74.95-20.25?

Answer 10

20.25 plus a number(\(j\)) equals 74.95.

Answer 11

"so it would be 74.95-20.25?"

Yes, it would. Good job. :)

Answer 12

Answer 32

ok

Answer 33

when burned, 18 gallons of gasoline produce about 360 pounds of carbon dioxide. solve the equation 18n=360 to find how much carbon dioxide 1 gallon of gasoline produces.

Answer 34

you divide by 18 on both sides to get the answer

Answer 35

so wat is the answer?

Answer 36

20 I think.

Answer 37

can u show me how?

Answer 38

I can't now, i gotta leave. Sorry

Answer 39

there are plenty of people around who can show you in minutes.

Answer 40

i got you

Answer 41

360 = 18x if you divide by 18 you would get 20 because if 10 x 18 = 180 then 20 x 18 would be double that and 180 x 2 = 360
