Answer: x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+BD=AD

(2x+8) + (4x+12) = 86

Combine like terms.

6x + 20 = 86

Minus 20 from both sides to get x by itself.

6x = 66

Divide both sides by x to find the value of a singular x.

x= 11

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of gift card = $80

Cost of coffee per pound = $8.24

Amount left in the card = $38.80

To find:

Number of pounds of coffee bought = ?

Solution:

Let the number of pounds of the coffee bought = $x$ pounds

Cost of 1 pound = $8.24

Cost of $x$ pounds = $8.24 $\times x$

Writing the equation as per question statement:

$80 - 8.24x = 38.80\\\Rightarrow 80 - 38.80 = 8.24x\\\Rightarrow 8.24x = 41.2\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{41.2}{8.24}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 5\ pounds}$

Therefore, 5 pounds of coffee was bought.
