Answer 3

2

Answer 4

Which value for x makes the sentence true?

11x = 5x + 24
x = 30
x = 18
x = 4
x = 2
@iGreen

Answer 5

5.86*2+11.72=23.44
yes its 2

Answer 6

Try replacing your x as one of the answer choices. For example plug in 2.
11(2) = 5(2) +24
22=10+24
Is that true? Nope! So move on to the next one!:)

Answer 7

\(5.86x+11.72=23.44\)

Subtract 11.72 to both sides:

\(5.86x = 11.72\)

Divide 5.86 to both sides:

\(x = 2~\Large\color{lime} \checkmark\)

Answer 8

11x = 5x + 24

Subtract 5x to both sides, what's 11x - 5x? @pootypie

Answer 9

\(11x - 5x\) is the same thing as \(11 - 5\), but you put \(x\) in your answer.

Answer 10

6X

Answer 11

Yep, so that gives us:

\(6x = 24\)

\(\dfrac{\cancel6x}{\cancel 6} = \dfrac{24}{6}\)

Now we divide 6 to both sides, can you divide 24 / 6?

Answer 12

Yes You Get 4

Finish the calculation below by arranging the steps to solve for x.

George bought a shirt and a pair of pants at a clothing store. The pants cost $5.71 more than the shirt, and he used a $5 off coupon to purchase the shirt. The equation below is used to determine the cost of the shirt before the coupon, s.

s - $5 = $25.46

How much did the pants cost?
$31.17
$36.17
$30.46
$24.75
