1.06 times 6.50 +1.06 (2x) = 16.43

Question

Answer please

Answer 1

1.06 x 6.50 + 1.06 (2X) = 16.43   

 

Multiply 1.06(6.50) + Multiply 1.06(2X) = 16.43

 

                 6.89   + 2.12X  = 16.43

 

Now solve for X by subtracting 6.89 from both sides of the equation, so you will have

 

               6.89-6.89 + 2.12X = 16.43 - 6.89

                       

                              2.12X   =  9.54

 

Divide both side by 2.12, so X = 9.54/2.12 

                                          

                                         X = 4.5

 

 

Answer 2

1.06(6.50+2.12x)=16.43  I multiplied (2x)(1.06) already.

6.89+2.2472x=16.43   Distribute 1.06.

2.2472x=9.54   Subtract 6.89 from both sides.

x=4.245   Divide both sides by 2.2472.

 

Answer 3

1.06(6.50) + 1.06(2x) = 16.43        Factor out 1.06

(1.06)(6.50 + 2x) = 16.43               Divide both sides by 1.06

6.50 + 2x = 15.5                             Subtract 6.50 from both sides

2x = 9                                              Divide both sides by 2

x = 4.5

 

Check

1.06(6.50) + 1.06(9) = 16.43

6.89 + 9.54 = 16.43

16.43 = 16.43
