Move the x's to the same side
2x + x = 8 +6
then simplify
3x = 14
make x stand on its own
(3x)/3 = 14/3
the 3's on the x side cancel
x = 14/3
Answer:
P=2.25x-----------1
M=2.25y----------2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
we are told that the cost of pears= $2.25 each
and cost of mango= $2.25 each
Step two:
the chef bought x pears and y mangoes
let the total cost of pears be P
and for mango be M
P=2.25x-----------1
M=2.25y----------2
150% of 51 is 34. So your answer is 51
$140(.075) = 10.5
10.5+140= 150.50
the total would be $150.50
