The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = 4x - 6
add 6 to both sides
x + 9 = 4x
subtract x from both sides
9 = 3x
divide 3 from both sides
x = 3
1. GCF is a factor that is shared by all terms within a polynomial for example, if we have a polynomial of the form A*B + A*C, the GCF is A since both terms have A as a factor 2. after we factor out the GCF, it is placed outside the parentheses, in front of the rest of the polynomial. using our previous example, A*B+A*C = A(B+C) 3. we can verify that our factoring is correct by distributing the GCF to the polynomial within the parentheses
