Number of cookie boxes bought by James = 5
Number of cakes bought by James = 2
Cost of each cakes = $4
Total bill paid by James = $28.50
Let us assume the cost of the each boxes of cookies = x
Then
5x + (2 * 4) = 28.50
5x + 8 = 28.50
5x = 28.50 - 8
5x = 20.50
x = 20.50/5
   = 4.10
So we can see from the above deduction that the cost of each boxes of cookies bought by James is $4.10

9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x
Furkat [3]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x

9-10x=-6x+1

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9-10x-9=-6x+1-9

-10x=-6x-8

Add 6x to both sides:

-10x+6x=-6x-8+6x

-4x=-8

Divide both sides by -4:

\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-8}{-4}

x=2
