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.

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

then divide both sides by 0.575..
x=68
