Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
THIS is the answer if the equation looks like this. 
Answer:
24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50
x= 2.5 pounds of Granny Smith apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Gala apples = 3 lbs
Granny apples = x lbs
They cost 4.50 a pound
Total cost = 24.75
Total cost = gala apples * cost per pound + granny apples * cost per pound
Substitute in what we know
24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50
24.75 = 13.50 + 4.5x
Subtract 13.50 from each side
24.75-13.50 = 13.50-13.50 + 4.5x
11.25 = 4.5x
Divide by 4.50 on each side
11.25/4.5 = 4.5x/4.5
2.5 =x
Answer:
n=48
Step-by-step explanation:
n
_ = 1 6
3
Multiply each side by 3
n/3 * 3 = 16*3
n = 48
A b c d... and x are all representing 1 unknown #. The particular letter
is not revelent unless its like f (x) =.... which just means y but g(x) sometimes means graph.
otherwise it doesn't matter at all
