To solve the equation three-halvesx - 4 = 16, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, let's add 4 to both sides of the equation:
three-halvesx - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4
This simplifies to:
three-halvesx = 20
Next, let's multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of three-halves, which is 2/3:
(2/3)(three-halvesx) = (2/3)(20)
This simplifies to:
x = 40/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 40/3, which can also be written as x = 13 and one-third.
Solve. three-halvesx – 4 = 16

c = $9.95
c = $9.95
c = $20.45
c = $20.45
c = $35.00
c = $35.00
c = $114.45
To find the cost of downloading 35 songs, we can substitute s = 35 into the equation 9.95 + 0.30s = c and solve for c.
First, let's substitute s = 35 into the equation:
9.95 + 0.30(35) = c
This simplifies to:
9.95 + 10.5 = c
Combining the terms on the left side, we get:
20.45 = c
Therefore, the cost of downloading 35 songs is c = $20.45.

To find how many t-shirts you can buy using your coupon and money, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let x represent the number of t-shirts you can buy. Each t-shirt costs $11, and you have a coupon for $6 off. So the cost of x t-shirts after applying the coupon will be $11x - $6.
Since you have $27 to spend, we can set up the equation:
$11x - $6 = $27
Now, let's solve for x:
$11x = $27 + $6
$11x = $33
Dividing both sides by $11:
x = $33 / $11
x = 3
Therefore, you can buy 3 t-shirts using your coupon and money.
Let x represent the number of t-shirts you can buy. Each t-shirt costs $11, and you have a coupon for $6 off. So the cost of x t-shirts after applying the coupon will be $11x - $6.
Since you have $27 to spend, we can set up the equation:
$11x - $6 = $27
Now, let's solve for x:
$11x = $27 + $6
$11x = $33
Dividing both sides by $11:
x = $33 / $11
x = 3
Therefore, you can buy 3 t-shirts using your coupon and money.

One of the strongest literary images I encountered is from "Birches" by Robert Frost. In the poem, Frost vividly describes the bending of birch trees under the weight of ice storms. He compares the act of a boy swinging on a birch tree to the bending of these trees. The image of the birch trees "loaded with ice a sunny winter morning after a rain" creates a powerful visual of the trees burdened by the weight of the ice, yet still able to bend and sway. This image evokes a sense of resilience and strength in the face of adversity, as well as a connection between nature and human experiences.
