Answer:

Chocolate Chips cost $2.25 and Walnuts cost $3.25 per pound each

Step-by-step explanatChocion:

Let x = cost of pounds of chocolate chip cookies and y = cost of pounds of walnuts.

From the question, we get 5x+3y = 21 and 2x+6y = 24. To solve the equation, we use substitution. From the first equation, we get y = (21-5x)/3. We substitute the y into the second equation to get 2x + 6(21-5x)/3 = 24. This turns out to be 2x+(42-10x) = 24. Adding like terms you should get 42-8x = 24. Solving for x, x = $2.25 per pound. Plugging this into the first equation, we get 5(2.25)+3y = 21. Solving for y, we get $3.25 per pound of walnuts. If we plug in the numbers into the 2 equations, we will get the right total.

7 - 7(-8 + x) = -14 + 4x How do you solve for x
Lelu [443]
First thing you need to do is distributive property and that will give you
 7-56-7x=-14+4x then combine like terms which will then give you
-49-7x=-14+4x Next get your letters on the left do that by subtracting 4x which will give you -49-11x=-14. After that you will add 49 to both sides which will give you
-11x= 35. Divide by -11 to get x=3.18
