The final cost depends on the amount he buys since the 16.99 is the constant. Equation form is 16.99n where n is the amount hence the inconsistent variable
2x + 4x will always be larger or equal to 0.
if x= 0 than it will be equal to 0.
Does this help at all?
Step-by-step explanation:
-16 + 3n = - 8 - 5n
Bringing like terms on one side
3n + 5n = - 8 + 16
8n = 8
n = 8/8
N = 1
Your answer is 25. You do 40 times 5 divided by 8 or 8 times 5 is 40 and 5 times 5 is 25. Hope this helps
