solve the equation for the equation to determine number of braclets
To solve the equation 3.50x + 22 = 36 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, we can start by subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation:
3.50x + 22 - 22 = 36 - 22
This simplifies to:
3.50x = 14
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3.50 to solve for x:
(3.50x) / 3.50 = 14 / 3.50
This simplifies to:
x = 4
Therefore, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy is 4.
