Jane and her two friends will rent an apartment for S550 a month, but Jane will pay double what each friend does because she will have her own bedroom. How much will Jane pay a month?

$275 a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much each friend is paying.

The amount Jane pays can be represented by 2x, since she is paying double than her friends.

Add together these terms and set them equal to 550. Then, solve for x:

x + x + 2x = 550

4x = 550

x = 137.5

So, each friend is paying $137.50. Double this to find how much Jane is paying:

137.5(2)

= 275

So, Jane is paying $275 a month

step-by-step explanation:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
