If we collect like terms of the first equation, we can simplify to
2x - 8 = 180
If we add 8 to both sides, we get
2x = 188
And that means x = 94
If we substitute this into the second equation, we get
7(94) - 8 = ?
7 x 94 is equal to 658
658 - 8 = 650
The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
3 minutes because half of 6 is 3 so 3 is the anwser.
The awnser should be either 6 or 20
Answer:
x = 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(8x-3) - 30x = 5(x-5)
Distribute
32x - 12 - 30x = 5x -25
Combine like terms
2x -12 = 5x-25
Subtract 2x from each side
2x-12-2x = 5x-2x -25
-12 = 3x-25
Add 25 to each side
-12+25 = 3x-25+25
13 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
13/3 = x
