Use the distributive property of multiplication.
25(-5x/2)=-62.5x, and 25(1/2)=12.5.
Add these together: -62.5x + 12.5 (answer)
Well you have cut it into smaller pieces so it would be I guess 4 grams now because 20 divided by 5 is 4.
the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.
Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.
and the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.
According to question,
For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.
⇒
→ (1)
For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23
⇒
→ (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0
⇒
⇒
hence,
⇒
⇒
Putting
in
we get ;
⇒
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .
Answer:
<h2>VX = 26</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If W is the midpoint of VX then VW = WX. Therefore we have the equation:
2x + 5 = 4x - 3 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
2x = 4x - 8 <em>subtract 4x from both sides</em>
-2x = -8 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
x = 4
VX = VW + WX
VX = 2x + 5 + 4x - 3 = (2x + 4x) + (5 - 3) = 6x + 2
Put the value of x = 4 to 6x + 2:
VX = 6(4) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26
