You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. To solve this, you could just combine the x's and the m's. There are 3 x's, so that'd be x%2Ax%2Ax=x%5E3. Do the same with the m's. m%2Am%2Am=m%5E3. So, your final answer would be 6x%5E3m%5E3.

2. Let's make this into a proportion. 54:9 can also be written as 54/9. We could reduce that fraction to 6:1. So, she earns 6 dollars every hour. Now, we'd just plug in the amount of hours to know.
I'll do the first one. %286%2F1%29%2A%286%2F1%29=36%2F1. So, she made 36 dollars in 6 hours. Just do that for the rest of those problems. :)

3. You can plug this into Algebra.Com's solver. ( http://www.algebra.com/services/rendering/simplifier.mpl )
Here it is simplified: simplify_cartoon%28+-5%2Ax-15=30+%29
It simplifies to -5x=45 Divide both sides by -5 to get x=-9.
