Answer 22

Keep in mind that your math course is Algebra. A basic concept of Algebra is that we represent quantities (numbers, measurements) using letters such as x, y, z, a, b, c.

You MUST learn how to write algebraic equations based upon the stories given you. Guessing (11, 23, etc.) will not help you.

Answer 23

Answer 29

You are to find the cost of the t-shirt. You already know how much the book cost ($12) and how much, total, Leona spent.

Please stop tossing out numbers until you have developed understanding of what they mean.

You could use x to represent the cost of the t-shirt.

The book cost $12.

The total spent was $23.

Write an equation involving x, $12 and $23, please.

Answer 30

ok you know that the book cost 12 and the total cost is 23 but they don't give you the cost of the t-shirt so which of those is the unknown value?

Answer 31

Look what jim_thompson typed to you:

cost of book = 12
cost of _____ = x
total cost = 23

He is correct.

How do you determine the value of x, which represents the cost of the t-shirt?

Answer 32

jalil have you read the lesson that this test is for?

Answer 33

This plus that equals a total of $23.
The t shirt cost x dollars.
The book cost $12.

The sum of the cost of the book and the cost of the t-shirt is $23.

Write an equation showing this fact symbolically.

Answer 34

Answer 54

jalil: I'd really suggest you quit now and return later. You MUST be willing to show your work and to listen to suggestions from others about your work if you want to undrstand this algebra.

No, jalil, we are not allowed to give you answers, especially when you have not demonstrated any work of your own.

Answer 55

The original question has four parts. You must address each one of them, separately. We're still waiting to see evidence of your own efforts here. If you don't know, then at least phrase some questions that the rest of us could answer.
