Answer:

c) x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: 7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1)

<u><em>Steps:</em></u>

1. Distribute 4 through the parentheses:

7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x) + 4(-1)

7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 [simplify]

7x - 9 = 24 + 4x

2. Subtract 4x from both sides:

7x - 4x - 9 = 24 + 4x - 4x

3x - 9 = 24

3. Add 9 to both sides:

3x - 9 + 9 = 24 + 9

3x = 33

4. Divide both sides by 3:

3x ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3

x = 11

5. Check your work:

7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) [substitute 11 for x]

7(11) - 9 = 28 + 4(11 - 1) [simplify]

77 - 9 = 28 + 4(10) [simplify]

68 = 28 + 40 [add]

68 = 68 ✔

Answer:

$x = 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) \\ 7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 \\ 7x - 4x = 28 - 4 + 9 \\ 3x = 33 \\ \\ x = \frac{33}{3} \\ \\ x = 11$

The store is selling lemons at $0.58 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough l

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$4.64

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

$\frac{1}{2}$ cup = 8 tablespoons

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. You need 8 tablespoons for one lemon pie, so you need $8\div 2=4$ lemons for one pie and $4\times 2=8$ lemons for two pies.

The store is selling lemons at $0.58 each, hence, 8 lemons will cost

$\$0.58\times 8=\$4.64$
