Solve for x.
7 - (2x + 11) + 3(3 - x) = 20
-3
-4

15
50
65

cool scoops ice cream shop offers 42 different one-topping sundaes. if there are 7 flavors of ice cream, how many toppings are there?
6
5
3

#1:

7 - (2x+11) + 3(3-x) = 20
7 - 2x - 11 + 9 - 3x = 20
5 - 5x = 20
-5x = 15
x = -3

#2:
x = one number
y = the other number
x = 5 + 3y
x-y = 35
x = 35 + y
35+y = 5 + 3y
30 = 2y
y = 15
x = 35 + 15 = 50

The larger number is equal to 50

#3
42 different one topping sundaes. 7 flavors of ice-cream, and x types of toppings. We know through basic combinatronical rules that 7x = 42. Therefore, x = 6.

Ithink the answer is d.
