P = w * .6
Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.
2x3= 6
18÷6= 3
So, 3x4 = 12
X=y-a
by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variabke
