If it stays as fraction the answer would be 7/14
N= -4
-4/2+5=3
-2+5=3 you have to subtract the 5 from three first and then multiply the answer by 2 to get n
The answer is
2. 2a+12
Show work
2a+7+2a+7+4+4= 4a+22
A+2+a+2+3+3 = 2a+10
(4a+22)-(2a+10) = 2a+12
Answer:
Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans
Let tm = price per pound of trail mix
equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22
equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16
simplify equation 1
6*jb + 2tm = 22
2*tm = 22 - 6*jb
divide by 2
tm = 11 - 3*jb
plug this into equation 2
3*jb + 5*tm = 16
3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16
3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16
-12*jb + 55 = 16
-12*jb = 16 - 55
-12*jb = -39
jb = -39/-12
jb = 3.25
then, plug the cost per pound of jelly beans back into the simplified equation 1
tm = 11 - 3*jb
tm = 11 - 3*3.25
tm = 1.25
