Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The data we have is:
Gonzales has $42.50
He wants to buy:
a shirt that costs $29
some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.
The equation that we need to solve is:
Total cost = money that Gonzales has.
The cost is $29 + x*$4.50
where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.
The equation that we need to solve is:
$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50
to solve it we must isolate x:
x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50
x = 13.50/4.50 = 3
So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.
we are given

Since, we have to solve for x
so, we will isolate x on anyone side
step-1: Add both sides 27


step-2: Divide both sides by 7


now, we can simplify it

Answer:
3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four as an equation.
Let the number be n.
The first part is: three minus the difference of a number and one:
3 - (n - 1)
The second part is: one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four:
1/2(3n - 4)
Now, let us equate the first and second parts:
3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)
