(trying to isolate/get x by itself in the equation)
5(x + 6) = 50 Distributive property [distribute 5 into (x + 6)]
5x + 30 = 50 Subtraction [subtract 30 on both sides of the equation]
5x = 20 Division [divide 5 on both sides]
x = 4
Subtraction then division, the 2nd option
4u+3c-6 is thats what its asking for? just puting the same variables together
Answer:
whats the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the actual answer is 6x=6788. Na I’m just kidding juss needa stack up these points✨
Let n be the number of lbs of nuts.
Let r be the number of lbs of raisins.
9n + 3r = 60 * 5 = 300 .............(1)
n + r = 60
n = 60 - r ...............(2)
Plugging the expression for n in (2) into (1) we get:
9(60 - r) + 3r = 300
which expands to:
540 - 9r + 3r = 300 .............(3)
Simplifying and rearranging (3) we get:
-6r = -240
Therefore r, the weight of raisins = 40 lbs
and the weight of nuts is 60 - 40 = 20 lbs
