The youth soccer team is fundraising by washing cars. they paid $84.55 for supplies. if they charge eight dollars per wash, how many cars must be washed to profit it at least $300 dollars?

about 49 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

if they want to remake the money they spent then it would be about 49 cars cause $384.55 divided by 8 is 48.06875 , so if you round it , its about 49 cars to wash. but if thye dont want to remake the money they spent then it would be about 39 cars , cause 300 divided by 8 is is 37.5 but they cant just wash half a car.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
