The rice will cost $17.6 for serving 40 people
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>We need to determine the cost of serving 40 people with rice
Arborio rice is purchased in 2-pound boxes for $1.99
The price of 1 pound box will be
1 Pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz)
Therefore, the price of 16 ounces is $0.995
A cup of raw Arborio rice weighs 7 ounces and it serve 1 people
Therefore rice will cost $17.6 for serving 40 people
We need to solve for x. Let's try problem b:
Let us first combine line terms. 3x and -x as well as 1 and -7 can be combined. Let's do that:
Since this is true, your answer would be:
All real numbers
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's solve for problem c:
Let's isolate x, so subtract 1 from both sides:
Since x can't have a coefficient, divide both sides by 3:
So, only the value of 14 would make this equation true.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's try problem d:
Let's get our whole numbers on the right side. Add 1 to both sides:
Subtract 4x from the right side on both sides:
Since this is not true, your answer would be:
No solution
