7/10x - 5 = 1/2x
7/10x - 1/2x = 5
7/10x - 5/10x = 5
2/10x = 5
x = 5 / (2/10)
x = 5 * 10/2
x = 50/2
x = 25 gallons <===

(7/10)X - 5 - (1/2)X
(7/10)X - (5/10)X = 5
(2/10)X = 5
X = 25 gallons capacity

Eva is at a sushi restaurant. She ordered 2 pieces of squid for a total of $3.50, 1 piece of eel for $3.25, 3 pieces of tuna for

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

squid, crab, tuna, eel

Step-by-step explanation:

Just make each sushi piece into an equation, then solve it.

For example, for the squid: (s stands for squid)

$2s = 3.5\\ s=1.75$ Divide both sides by 2 to get "s" by itself

Eel: (e stands for eel)

e = 3.25

Tuna: (t stands for tuna)

$3t=6.75\\ t=2.25$ Divide both sides by 3 to get "t" by itself

Crab: (c stands for crab)

$4c=8\\ c=2$ Divide both sides by 4 to get "c" by itself

**Then order from least to greatest**
