Solve for x: $62.10 = (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x The price of a book can be modeled by the equation below, where P = the price of the book, 20 is the printing charge, 0.5 is the charge per page, and x = the number of pages.

Was the extra "(20 + 0.5" an accident?

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

nope :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( Im not very good with those types but I'll try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry...my brain failed me

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

It's okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this the given equation : $62.10 = (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x ?

Can you take screenshot of your question? The question doesn't make sense to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first Simplify both sides of the equation. 62.1=0.575x+23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the subtract 23 from both sides to get... 0.575x=39.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide both sides by 0.575.. x=68
