Answer:

  8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

  1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

  -0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.

Answer:

a) 3 b) 5 c) 7 d) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you want to replace x in the equation y=x+5 with each of the values listed.

For the first one, -2, the equation becomes y=-2+5, which is solved to y=3.

For the second one, 0, the equation becomes y=0+5, which is solved to y=5.

For the third one, 2, the equation becomes y=2+5, which is solved to y=7.

For the last one, 4, the equation becomes y=4+5, which is solved to y=9.
