Write an equation to represent the number puzzle. Use x as the
variable. Then find the solution using guess-check-and-improve.
5 times a number, plus 1, is equal to 9 added to 3 times the number.
What is the number?
a. 5x + 1 = 9 + 3x, 4 c. 5x + 1 = 9 + 3x, 3
b. 5x − 1 = 9 + 3x, 5 d. 5x + 1 = 9 + 3x, 4.5

The solution of the equation  is  

So, option A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

'5 times a number, plus 1, is equal to 9 added to 3 times the number' is algebraically represented as:

Lets solve the equation to determine the solution

so

Thus, the solution of the equation  is  

Therefore, from the above calculations, we conclude that option A is the correct option.

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.
