Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concessions stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50 each. How many sour straws can Jamal purchase with the money that he had

Jamal can purchase 5 sour straws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sour straws that Jamal can purchase.

He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50 each. This means that the total amount that he would pay if he purchased x sour straws is

1.5x + 7.5

Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concessions stand. This means that the number of sour straws that Jamal can purchase with the money that he has is

1.5x + 7.5 = 15

1.5x = 15 - 7.5

1.5x = 7.5

x = 7.5/1.5

x = 5

5050 i think

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
