We can solve this problem by dividing 9/12 by 2/12. We should do this because to find how many sets of something are in a number, the question is asking us to do division. Doing this, we get 9/12 * 12/2, giving us our answer of 4.5 sets of 2/12 in 9/12.
2x -5x
3a + 10a
And -5
Combine and you get:
-3x + 13a - 5
If popcorn is p and water is w the equation can be written as
3p + w = 9.25
because there was 3 boxes of popcorn and one water (hence the coefficients) and the total is 9.25
then plug in 1.75 for w the price of water:
3p+ 1.75 = 9.25
you can move stuff around algebraically now (subtract 1.75 on both sides and divide by three on both aides) to get the cost of one box of popcorn (p).
The answer is 2.50
