Question

I’m stuck on this question if someone could help me I would highly appreciate:)

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

cm=3x -2

mr=x +8

cr=46

cm+mr=cr

3x-2+x+8=46

4x+6=46

4x=46-6

x=40/4

x=10

hence, mr=x+8

=10+8

=18

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

They want u to find MR, and I can do that by taking CR - CM

But first we need to know what is x

Now u know CM + MR =CR

Therefore

(3x - 2) + (x+8) = 46

3x - 2 + x + 8 = 46

4x + 6 = 46

4x = 40

x = 10

Now we know x is 10, let's just make it easier first

CM = 3x-2

= 3 (10) - 2

= 28

MR = x + 8

= 10 + 8

= 18

Now we got all our values

They want MR?

MR = x + 8

= 10 + 8

= 18
