3(x + 2) = 5x - 2
3(x) + 3(2) = 5x - 2
 3x + 6 = 5x - 2
 - 3x - 3x 
 6 = 2x - 2
 + 2 + 2
 8 = 2x
 2 2
 4 = x

How many pounds of green tea, worth $40 a pound, should be mixed with herbal tea, worth $50 a pound, to produce 20 pounds of ble

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to multiply 42 by 20. Because you have to find the total cost of the whole bag. Then a little guess and check you would get 16 lb of green tea and 4 lb of herbal tea. They both have to equal 20 lbs and $840. Multiply 16 by 40 then 50 by 4 then add them together you will get 840.

Hope this was helpful.

29.99x-8.75x=17884

21.24x=17884

X=841 sunglasses

It actually comes out to be more than 841, but since you can’t make .9 sunglasses then you round to the lower whole number.
