Billy and Tommy went to the movies. They are going to combine their money for snacks. Popcorn costs $8 and a box of candy costs $1.50 each. They each want their own popcorn. They spent the rest of the money on candy. If the total cost was $25.00, how many boxes of candy did they buy? Create a algebraic equation and solve for the number of candy boxes.

6 candy boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they both bought their own popcorn that means they both spent $8 on popcorn making that a total of $16. Therefore we now only need to find one variable which is the number of candy boxes that they bought in order to reach the $25 total that they spent. This variable can be represented as x in the following algebraic equation.

(2*8) + 1.50x = 25

16 + 1.50x = 25 ... subtract 16 from both sides

1.50x = 9 ... divide both sides by 1.50

x = 6

Finally, we can see that Billy and Tommy bought a total of 6 candy boxes.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

1 1/5
