Solve for x.

X - 2 = 3( 2 - X ) divided by 4

x = 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off by multiplying both sides by 4:

4(x-2) = 3(2-x)

Distribute the 4 and the 3:

4x - 8 = 6 - 3x

Bring all the terms with the x at the first side:

4x + 3x = 6 + 8

7x = 12

x = 7/12

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
