Amari went to the mall and spent $47
. He bought one shirt for $26
and he bought 3 pairs of socks. Each pair of socks cost the same amount of money.
Let's represent the cost of each pair of socks with the variable x.
So, the total cost of the socks is 3x.
Amari spent a total of $47, so we can create the equation:
26 + 3x = 47
To solve for x, we subtract 26 from both sides:
3x = 21
Then divide both sides by 3:
x = 7
Therefore, each pair of socks cost $7.
A family room and two bedrooms cost $360 to steam clean the carpets. The amount of labor and the service fee are incorporated into the total cost. Let x represent the labor costs per room and $45 equal the service fee. If it took the carpet cleaners (3) hours to complete the job, how much was the labor?
Let's denote the cost of labor per room as x. Since there are three rooms (a family room and two bedrooms), the total labor cost would be 3 times x.
Therefore, the total cost of labor would be 3x.
We are given that the service fee is $45.
The total cost to steam clean the carpets is $360.
Let's set up the equation using the given information:
3x + 45 = 360
To solve for x, we subtract 45 from both sides:
3x = 360 - 45
3x = 315
Then, divide both sides by 3:
x = 315 / 3
x = 105
Therefore, the labor costs per room is $105.
Since it took the carpet cleaners 3 hours to complete the job, the total labor cost would be:
3x = 3 * 105 = $315.
Therefore, the labor cost for the job was $315.
what would the equation be?
To represent the given information mathematically, we can create the equation:
3x + 45 = 360
In this equation, x represents the labor costs per room, and the term 3x represents the total labor costs for the three rooms. The term 45 represents the service fee. The sum of the labor costs and the service fee should equal the total cost of $360 to steam clean the carpets.
Lilly and Samuel purchased supplies together for a school project. They need to determine how much each person should pay.
Markers cost $2.59
each
Poster boards cost $5.59
each
Glue sticks cost x
each.
Lilly selects 5 markers and 2 poster boards and a glue stick. Samuel selects 3 markers and 3 poster boards and a glue stick. The total for their combined purchase was $49.57
.
Let's denote the cost of a glue stick as x.
The cost of 5 markers would be 5 * $2.59 = $12.95.
The cost of 2 poster boards would be 2 * $5.59 = $11.18.
Therefore, the total cost of Lilly's items would be $12.95 + $11.18 + x.
The cost of 3 markers would be 3 * $2.59 = $7.77.
The cost of 3 poster boards would be 3 * $5.59 = $16.77.
Therefore, the total cost of Samuel's items would be $7.77 + $16.77 + x.
The total cost for their combined purchase was $49.57.
So, we can create the equation:
($12.95 + $11.18 + x) + ($7.77 + $16.77 + x) = $49.57
Simplifying the equation, we get:
$24.13 + 2x = $49.57
To solve for x, we subtract $24.13 from both sides:
2x = $49.57 - $24.13
2x = $25.44
Then, divide both sides by 2:
x = $25.44 / 2
x = $12.72
Therefore, the cost of a glue stick is $12.72.
To determine how much each person should pay, we need to calculate the total cost for each person's items.
Lilly would pay for 5 markers, 2 poster boards, and 1 glue stick, which totals to $12.95 + $11.18 + $12.72 = $36.85.
Samuel would pay for 3 markers, 3 poster boards, and 1 glue stick, which totals to $7.77 + $16.77 + $12.72 = $37.26.
Therefore, Lilly should pay $36.85 and Samuel should pay $37.26.
nothing here is correct
Apologies for the mistakes. Let's correct the solution:
Let's denote the cost of a glue stick as x.
Lilly selects 5 markers, 2 poster boards, and 1 glue stick. The cost of 5 markers would be 5 * $2.59 = $12.95. The cost of 2 poster boards would be 2 * $5.59 = $11.18. Therefore, the total cost of Lilly's items would be $12.95 + $11.18 + x.
Samuel selects 3 markers, 3 poster boards, and 1 glue stick. The cost of 3 markers would be 3 * $2.59 = $7.77. The cost of 3 poster boards would be 3 * $5.59 = $16.77. Therefore, the total cost of Samuel's items would be $7.77 + $16.77 + x.
The total cost for their combined purchase was $49.57.
So, we can create the equation:
($12.95 + $11.18 + x) + ($7.77 + $16.77 + x) = $49.57
Simplifying the equation, we get:
$24.13 + 2x = $49.57
To solve for x, we subtract $24.13 from both sides:
2x = $49.57 - $24.13
2x = $25.44
Then, divide both sides by 2:
x = $25.44 / 2
x = $12.72
Therefore, the cost of a glue stick is $12.72.
To determine how much each person should pay, we need to calculate the total cost for each person's items.

The correct equation that could be used to solve for x is:
A. 8($2.59) + 5($5.59) - 2x = $49.57
To solve this equation:
First, multiply and simplify:
20.72 + 27.95 - 2x = $49.57
48.67 - 2x = $49.57
Next, isolate the variable by subtracting 48.67 from both sides:
-2x = $49.57 - $48.67
-2x = $0.90
Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides by -2:
x = $0.90 / -2
x = -0.45
Therefore, the cost of one glue stick is $0.45.
To determine how much each person should pay, we can substitute the value of x into the given equations for Lilly and Samuel's selections.

For Samuel:
3($2.59) + 3($5.59) + 1($0.45) = $7.77 + $16.77 + $0.45 = $24.99
Therefore, based on the supplies they selected, Lilly should pay $24.58 and Samuel should pay $24.99.
The correct answers are:
B. Lilly's cost is $24.58 and Samuel's cost is $24.99
The top of a table has dimensions 2 ft
by x+3 ft
and has an area of 8 ft2
.
Which of the following equations can be used to find the value of x
for this situation?
The equation that can be used to find the value of x for this situation is:
2(x + 3) = 8
This equation represents the area of the table top, which is equal to 8 ft².
To solve for x, we can simplify the equation:
2x + 6 = 8
Next, we isolate the variable by subtracting 6 from both sides:
2x = 2
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = 1
Therefore, the value of x for this situation is 1.
The correct equation is:
2(x + 3) = 8
1/3x - 4 = -12
solve for the x
To solve the equation 1/3x - 4 = -12 for x, we will follow these steps:
1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
1/3x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4
This simplifies to:
1/3x = -8
2. To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 (or simply 3):
(1/3x) * 3 = -8 * 3
This simplifies to:
x = -24
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/3x - 4 = -12 is x = -24.

. The prices were as follows.
Pen $1.19
each
Poster $3.57
each
Glue Sticks were on sale 3 for a $1
Which equation represents the situation and solves for x, the cost of each glue stick?
Responses
Let x represent the cost of each glue stick.
Jocelyn purchased 6 pens, 2 posters, and a glue stick. The cost of 6 pens would be 6 * $1.19 = $7.14. The cost of 2 posters would be 2 * $3.57 = $7.14. Therefore, the total cost of Jocelyn's items would be $7.14 + $7.14 + x.
Andy purchased 4 pens, 1 poster, and a glue stick. The cost of 4 pens would be 4 * $1.19 = $4.76. The cost of 1 poster would be 1 * $3.57 = $3.57. Therefore, the total cost of Andy's items would be $4.76 + $3.57 + x.
The total cost for their combined purchase was $23.61.
So, we can create the equation:
($7.14 + $7.14 + x) + ($4.76 + $3.57 + x) = $23.61
Simplifying the equation, we get:
$14.28 + 2x = $23.61
To solve for x, we subtract $14.28 from both sides:
2x = $23.61 - $14.28
2x = $9.33
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = $9.33 / 2
x = $4.665
Therefore, the cost of each glue stick is approximately $4.67.
The correct equation that represents the situation and solves for x, the cost of each glue stick, is not provided in the given options.
Aniyah goes to the store and spends $22. She spends $9 on paper towels and she buys 2 frozen meals that have the same cost.
Let's represent the cost of each frozen meal with the variable x.
Aniyah spends $9 on paper towels and buys 2 frozen meals. So, the total cost of the frozen meals is 2x.
The total amount she spends is $22, so we can create the equation:
$9 + 2x = $22
To solve for x, we subtract $9 from both sides:
2x = $22 - $9
2x = $13
Then, divide both sides by 2:
x = $13 / 2
x = $6.50
Therefore, each frozen meal costs $6.50.
Jeffrey caught 8 worms in his backyard. 4 worms had a length of 3 inches. The other 4 worms were all the same size. The total length of all the worms combined is 32 inches. Which equation below represents the lengths of all the worms?
Let's represent the length of the other 4 worms (which are all the same size) with the variable x.
The 4 worms with a length of 3 inches have a combined length of 4 * 3 = 12 inches.
To represent the total length of all the worms, we can create the equation:
12 + 4x = 32
This equation accounts for the 4 worms with a length of 3 inches (4 * 3 = 12) and the other 4 worms with a combined length of 4x.
Therefore, the equation that represents the lengths of all the worms is:
12 + 4x = 32
Six times a number decreased by ten is eight. Find the number
Let's denote the number as x.
The phrase "six times a number decreased by ten" can be represented as 6x - 10.
We are given that this expression is equal to eight.
So, the equation representing the given information is:
6x - 10 = 8
To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we add 10 to both sides of the equation:
6x - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10
6x = 18
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6x/6 = 18/6
x = 3
Therefore, the number is 3.
show the steps for solving the equation 2x+12=30
To solve the equation 2x + 12 = 30, we will follow these steps:
1. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
2x + 12 - 12 = 30 - 12
This simplifies to:
2x = 18
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
(2x)/2 = 18/2
This simplifies to:
x = 9
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 12 = 30 is x = 9.
The steps of solving the equation 2x + 12 = 30 are:
1. 2x + 12 - 12 = 30 - 12
2. 2x = 18
3. (2x)/2 = 18/2
4. x = 9
