Answer:

$2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Marion buys 3 pounds of granola for $3 per pound, and 0.75 pounds of raisins for $2 per pound.

The equation 3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x models the situation, where x is the price per pound of the trail mix.

To Find: What is the price of the trail mix?

Solution:

3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x

Where x is the price per pound of the trail mix.

9+ 1.5 = (3.75)x

10.5 = (3.75)x

\frac{10.5}{3.75}=x

2.8=x

Hence the price of the trail mix is $2.8 per pound.

Solve for x: −3|2x + 6| = −12
spayn [35]

Start with

-3|2x+6|=-12

Divide both sides by -3

|2x+6|=4

If the absolute value of a number is 4, that number can either be 4 or -4: we have the two solutions

2x+6=4 \iff 2x=-2 \iff x=-1

2x+6=-4 \iff 2x=-10 \iff x=-5
