To find the answer, you need to solve for b.
2(2b + 3) = 12 divide both sides by 3
2b + 3 = 6 divide both sides by 2
2b = 3 subtract 3 from both sides
b = 1.5 divide both sides by 2
b = 1.5 satisfies the equation. if you plug 1.5 in, you get that the equation is true.
2.25 + 0.59 + 6.49 + 1.49 = 10.82 dollars
10.82 - 5.25 = $5.57 is his total purchase
The answer is 375 because you need to do this:
75x 5
5x5=25
7x5=350
350+25=375
The answer is b national baking act
