Answer:
x = 2 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the equation by 12. This eliminates fractions.
... 12 -12x -28 = 12x +27 -36x -8
Collect terms.
... -16 -12x = -24x +19
Add 24x+16
... 12x = 35
Divide by the coefficient of x
... x = 35/12 = 2 11/12
The best thing to do is to find the cost of one sweet, and to do this, divide 42 by 7.
42/7= 6
Therefore, one sweet costs 6p.
To find the cost of 8 sweets, you've got to multiply 6 by 8, and this gives you 54p.
Therefore, 8 sweets cost 54p
This is basically just finding unit rate and multiplying.
