The answer is x=-3
5-x=11+x
-11 -11 First subtract 11
-6-x=x
+x +x Now add x to both sides
-6=2x
~2 ~2 Finally divide by 2
-3=x Your answer is x=-3
Since x is the cost of the oranges per pound in cents, the total amount spent on oranges in cents is 3x. Then, you spent 59 cents on cucumbers and 35 cents on bananas. The total amount spent on all food is the sum of the individuals. 3x+59+35. Combine like terms to get 3x+94. This will give you your total in cents. If you need a total in dollars, you would just multiply that expression by 0.01.
The probability would be 2/6 or 1/3
