Answer:
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- t = the number of taffy bags
- c = the number of caramel bags
- Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
- Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
- Total weight is 400 ounces
<u>Equations:</u>
- t = c + 5 (the difference in number of bags)
- 8t + 16c = 400 (the weight of the bags)
<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>
<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>
- c + 5 + 2c = 50
- 3c = 50 - 5
- 3c = 45
- c = 45/3
- c = 15
<u>Find the value of t:</u>
<u>Answer:</u>
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
The question is not clear because the Debbie solution lines are not visible. Nevertheless,
The correct solution for this linear equation is the following:
<span>3(x + 4) − 2 = 16
</span><span>3(x + 4) = 16 + 2
</span><span>3(x + 4) = 18
</span>(x + 4) = 18/3
(x + 4) = 6
x = 6 - 4
x = 2
Answer:

Answer:
64/35
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal.
The reciprocal of a fraction is just the top and bottom number switched.
So the reciprocal of 5/8 would be 8/5.
Now, you can multiply 8/7 by 8/5.
This gives you 64/35.
And that's it!
