1 answer:
Answer:
A.The expression represents the price paid
B. ; everything means the same thing as the first.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a. we can tell what the expression means by re-reading the problem. We know that the 15 is the price per goby fish and that 10 is the price per shrimp. Since there is an equal number of each in each bag the x represent the number of goby fish or shrimp in the bag. The answer to the equation will be the price paid. Another expression you could use is the following.
This is an unfactored version of the first on where x is factored out. Here everything means the same thing it's just a different expression.

First, let's turn all the numbers into improper fractions so that we can find the answer easier.
-2 = r -
- = r -
Now we have to isolate 'r'.
First, we have to make sure that the variable is on one side and all the numbers are on the other side.
To do this, we have to add to both sides.
In order to do this, we need to ensure that both fractions have a common denominator.
- = r -
Ensure that the denominators are the same:
= r -
+
= r
= r
Good luck!
