-9(3-r)=45
-27+9t=45
9r=45+27
R=72/9
R=8
The answer is 8 not -8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the width = x
Let the length = x + 5
Equation
2w + 2W = P
Solution
2x + 2(x + 5) = 192 Remove the brackets <=== Answer
2x + 2x + 10 = 192 Combine like terms
4x + 10 = 192 Subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 192 - 10
4x = 182 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 182/4
x = 45.5
Water = 5 bottles * $0.90 = $4.50
meat = 8 pounds * x amount.
Total = water + meat prices = $26.90
26.90 = $4.50 + 8x
22.40 = 8x
2.8 = x
The price per pound of meat is $2.80.
