Let's say a = number of ordered soups, b = number of ordered sandwiches.

Then 4.5a + 7.75b = 113.50, and a and b are integers between 0 and 18 inclusive.

How do we tackle this? If all ordered soup, the cost would be $81, so we'll have at least 4 sandwiches. If all ordered sandwich, the cost would be $139.5, so at most 15 sandwiches were ordered. You also know an even number of sandwiches was ordered, to let the price end at 50 cent.

If you brute-force from 4,6,8,10,12 to 14 sandwiches, you find the answer at 10 sandwiches and 8 soups.

10*7.75 + 8*4.50 = 113.50

Rearrange the steps to solve for the following equation: 2(x-5)=8
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-5)=8          | Given

(2x-10)=8        | Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

2x=8+10           | Add 10 to both sides

2x=18                 | Add. <em>Optional; not included in your question.</em>

<em />x=9<em>                    </em>| Divide by 2 on both sides.
