Start by writing what is said:
2x + 4 = -6
From there just solve for x:
Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = -6 - 4
2x = -10
Divide by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5
2 3/4 + 1 5/8 + 1 5/8 =
2 + 1 + 1 = 4 (add the whole numbers)
3/4 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 6/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 16/8 = 2 (add the fractions)
4 + 2 = 6 total lbs
5.40 for 6 lbs = 5.40/6 = 0.90 (so the apples cost 90 cents per lb)
Y=3
Simplify
Distribute
Combine like terms
Add 2y to both sides
Add 2 to both sides
Divide by 3 , both sides.
If u want me to write the numbers and all just reply
