24 = -6 (m+1) + 18
what is the answer?

m = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = -6(m + 1) + 18 (Given)

24 = -6(m) + -6(1) + 18 (Distributive Property of Equality)

24 = -6m - 6 + 18 (Simplify)

24 = -6m + 12 (Simplify)

24 - 12 = -6m + 12 - 12 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

12 = -6m (Simplify)

(Division Property of Equality)

-2 = m (Simplify)

m = -2 (Distributive Property of Equality)

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
