250 - 5(x) = 50
250 (-250) - 5x = 50 (-250)
-5x = -200
-5x/-5 = -200/-5
x = 40

Since "p" represents the number of pounds of peanuts and:
4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50(p + 3) [then by distributing we have:
4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50p + 13.5 [then by subtracting 13.5 from both sides we have:
4.05p + 0.9 = 4.50p [then by subtracting 4.05p from both sides we have:
0.9 = 0.45p [then by dividing both sides by 0.45 we have:
2 = p
So there are 2 pounds of peanuts needed for the trail mix.
This means that we will plug 3 into our x values.
Our rule is 5x.
This means that:
5(3)
This means our final answer will be 15.
Answer:
x = 0
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of equation are:
5x + y = -2
2x - 2y = 4
The problem here is to find x and y from the expression
5x + y = -2 ----- i
2x - 2y = 4 ---- ii
So;
i x 2 : 10x + 2y = -4 ---- iii
ii x 5 : 10x - 10y = 20 ----- iv
iii - iv; 12y = -24
y = -2
Now find x;
5x + y = -2
5x - 2 = -2
x = 0
