7−4x+3=x−16−3x

Simplify

7−4x+3=x−16−3x

7+−4x+3=x+−16+−3x

(−4x)+(7+3)=(x+−3x)+(−16)(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+10=−2x+−16


−4x+10=−2x−16

Add 2x to both sides.

−4x+10+2x=−2x−16+2x

−2x+10=−16

Subtract 10 from both sides.

−2x+10−10=−16−10

−2x=−26

 Divide both sides by -2.

−2x/−2=−26/−2

x=13

Helen spent 7.75 to purchase 23 snack sized bags of chips (c) and pretzels (p). Chips cost 0.25 and pretzels cost 0.50. How much
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

15 chips and 8 pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Total spent = $7.75

Number of snacks = 23

Chips cost = $0.25

Pretzels cost = $0.50

Let number of chips = X

So, number of pretzels = 23 - X

So, we can calculate number of snacks by using following equation

0.25X + 0.50 ( 23 - X) = $7.75

0.25X + 11.50 - 0.50X = 7.75

0.25X - 0.50X = 7.75 - 11.5

-0.25X = -3.75

X = -3.75 ÷ -0.25 = 15

Hence, Number of chips = 15

Number of Pretzels = 23 - 15 = 8
