The numbers of bars that the team have to get from each company in order for the total cost to be equal is 40.

<h3>What is the purchase about?</h3>

Since n = numbers of bars purchase.

y= total cost in dollars

Company A = 0.75n

Company B = 10 + 0.50n

Therefore, to find the numbers of bars that the team would need to purchase from each company in order for the total cost to be equal =

0.75n = 10 + 0.50n

0.2n = 10

n = 40

A.
$5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\
5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\
11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\
11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\
x=0$

B.
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\
6x-12=5x-1 \\
\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\
11x=11 \\
\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}$

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\
x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\
x=11$
