So 2x+12=5x-9
you want all of the unknowns on one side and all of  the known values on the other or
subtract 2x from both sides
12=3x-9
add 9 to both sides
21=3x
divide both sides by 3
7=x

Milton makes trail mix for his hiking group he makes a 1 and 1/4 pound of peanuts 14 oz of raisins 12 oz of walnuts in 10 oz of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

where;

Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds

Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds

Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds

Replacing;

Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds

Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers

where;

Trail mix=3.5 pounds

Quantity per hiker=q

Number of hikers=8

Replacing;

3.5=q×8

q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

I pound=16 ounces

q=0.4375×16=7 ounces

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
