Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{17}{10}=1.7}

Step-by-step explanation:

8=2^3\\\\\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{1}{2^4}=2^{-4}\qquad\text{used}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\8^{2x-3}=\left(\dfrac{1}{16}\right)^{x-2}\\\\(2^3)^{2x-3}=(2^{-4})^{x-2}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\2^{3(2x-3)}=2^{-4(x-2)}\iff3(2x-3)=-4(x-2)\\\\\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(3)(2x)+(3)(-3)=(-4)(x)+(-4)(-2)\\\\6x-9=-4x+8\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\6x=-4x+17\qquad\text{add 4x to both sides}\\\\10x=17\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\x=1.7

Ed bus a box of eggs costing £2.30, two packs of bacon for £2.60 each and two tins of baked beans. He pays with a £10 note gets
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

£0.85 for each

£1.70 for both

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = cost of baked beans

2.30 + 2(2.60) + 2x = 10 - 0.80

Use PEMDAS

2.30 + 5.20 + 2x = 10 - 0.80

7.50 + 2x = 9.20

Subtract both sides by 7.50

2x = 1.70

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

x = 0.85

Let's check our work by plugging this into our original equation

2.30 + 2(2.60) + 2(0.85) = 10 - 0.80

2.30 + 5.20 + 1.70 = 10 - 0.80

7.50 + 1.70 = 9.20

9.20 = 9.20

Our number is correct
