  1. The answer is:  17 .

    Explanation:

    2x - 9 = 25 ;

    Add "9" to each side of the equation;

    2x - 9 + 9 = 25 + 9 ;    to get:

       
      2x = 34 ;

    Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

      2x / 2 = 34 / 2 ;

           x = 17 .

  2. x = 11.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    9 less than twice a number is the same thing as twice a number minus 9. Let's say that the number is x.

    2x - 9 = 13

    2x = 22

    x = 11

    Hope this helps!

  3. let x be the number:

    4 times a number = 4x

    Then 3 more than 4x:

    =4x+3

    Twice the number = 2x

    Then 8 less than twice the number:

    =2x-9

    Write the equation:

    4x+3=2x-9

    Subratact 2x form both sides:

    2x+3= -9

    Subtract 3 form both sides:

    2x = -12

    Divide both side by 2:

    x = -6

    Next, check your

    4x + 3 = 2x - 9

    Substitute -6 for x:

    4(-6) + 3 = 2(-6) - 9

    Mulitiply:

    -24 + 3 = -12 - 9

    Add:

    -21 = -21

    And now you know you answer is -6!

    Hope this helps! 🙂

  4. After working for 23 hours in grocery store, Sophia made $225.4.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number of hours Cody worked at grocery store = 16 hours

    The number of hours Sophia worked  = 2 ( Hours Cody worked) - 9

    =  2 ( 16) - 9 = 23 hours

    Now, for working 16 hours,Cody earned  = $156.80

    So, the per hour earning of Cody = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total payment he received for 16 hours}}{\textrm{16 hours}}[/tex]

    =[tex]\frac{156.80}{16} = 9.8[/tex]

    or, the hour earning of Cody = $9.8

    ⇒Now as Sophia has same hourly rare, so she earns $9.8 per hour.

    So, total earning after working  for 23 hours = 23 x ( Earning per hour)

                                                                                 = 23 x ($9.8)  = $225.4

    Hence, after working for 23 hours in grocery store, Sophia made $225.4.
