HELP iM DESPERATE

Which equation will solve the following word problem? Vanessa spent $87.00 on entertainment for the week. Her rent costs twelve dollars less than double that amount. How much does Vanessa spend on rent?

2($87) - 2($12) = R

2 * $87 - $12 = R

2R = $87 + $12

2R - $12 = $87

2 * $87 - $12 = R

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R represent the cost of Vanessa's rent.

Vanessa spent $87.00 on entertainment for the week.

Her rent costs twelve dollars less than double that amount. Breaking it down, the expression "double that amount" is expressed as (2 × 87). Subtracting 12 from double that amount, the final expression would become

R = 2(87) - 12

R =

R = 174 - 12

The correct option is

2 * $87 - $12 = R

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.

answer: $201

step-by-step explanation: to get the answer, you first get 3 nieces that he sold and multiply it by 67 and get $201, so he earned $201 selling his nieces.
