Cost of bag of soil = x-3 where x is the price of a flower pot
41=3x + 5(x-3)
41=3x + 5x -15
41=8x -15
41+15=8x
56=8x
56÷8=x
$7.00=x
Answer:
The remainder is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
12 Divided by 7 equals 12 over 7 or 1.714285. 7 can only go into 12, one time. if we subtract 7 from 12 we get 5 which is the remainder. There is no way it can be 2 because 7 plus 2 equals 9. 1 x 7 + 5 equals 12 which isn't 1.714285. 2 x 7 + 4 equals 18 which also isn't 1.714285. Same with 2 x 5 + 5. That equals 15 which isn't 1.714285.
#33 x(2x - 5) = 12
The answer is x = 4
