Hello!

no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.

here's the correct way:

add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6

then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.If she keeps picking strawberries at the same time, how many gallons

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Number of gallons of strawberries will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.

⇒ In $\frac{1}{2}$ hour Jen picked $\frac{3}{4}$ gallon of strawberries.

Unit rate per hour = $\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$

To find the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours.

$Number of gallons = unit rate per hours \times 2$

= $\frac{3}{2} \times 2 = 3$

Therefore, the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3
