leonid [27]

Answer:

x=−6

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.

∣x+2∣−5=−1

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

∣x+2∣=4

Use the definition of absolute value.

x+2=4

x+2=−4

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

x=2

x=−6

At a fundraiser, students sold chocolate bars with almonds and chocolate bars with walnuts. The number of chocolate bars with al

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Total number chocolate bars with almonds sold were approximately 66.34 and total number chocolate bars with walnuts sold were approximately 34.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number chocolate bars with almonds be x

Also let number chocolate bars with walnuts be y

Given:

Number of chocolate bars with almonds that were sold one weekend was 3 less than 2 times the number of chocolate bars with walnuts.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

$x=2y -3$

Also given:

The number of chocolate bars with walnuts plus 4 times the number of chocolate bars with almonds was 300.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

$4x+y=300$

Now Substituting the value of x in above equation we get;

$4x+y=300\\4(2y-3)+y=300\\8y-12+y=300\\9y=300+12\\9y=312\\\\y=\frac{312}{9} \approx 34.67$

Now we will substitute the value of y in equation $x=2y -3$ we get;

$x=2y-3 = 2\times34.67 -3 = 69.34-3\approx66.34$

Hence, Total number chocolate bars with almonds sold were approximately 66.34 and total number chocolate bars with walnuts sold were approximately 34.67.
