Answer:
D. 3.35
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to form an equation and solve it to find the number of weeks when the prices were the same. Because the prices were the same we can say that b = c, and therefore form the equation:
2.35 + 0.25x = 1.75 + 0.4x - Now we nee to solve it and find x.
2.35 - 1.75 = 0.4x - 0.25x
0.6 = 0.15x
x = 0.6 ÷ 0.15
x = 4 weeks
So now we substitute x into the equation for beef and find the price.
b = 2.35 + (0.25 × 4)
b = 2.35 + 1
b = $3.35 per pound
Yes! Let me help you!
Here is the original equation, lets solve this step-by-step
(x + 2)/4 = 5
Now, lets find out how.
We must apply the inverse operation.
4/2 is the reciprocal, so lets multiply that to both sides.
4/2 = 2
5*4 = 20
4x + 8 = 20
-8 -8 Subtract 8 from both sides. (Inverse operation)
4x = 12
4x/4 = 12/4 Divide 4 by both sides (Inverse)
x = 12/4
x = 3 Simplified
Answer: x = 3
