Question

Alan is comparing the cost of a fresh lobster dinner at two different restaurants. The first

Answer 1

Good evening ,

Answer:

The weight : 29 pound

Alan would pay for his dinner : $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of the lobster

the cost of the dinner at restaurant 1 is 4x + 14  

the cost of the dinner at restaurant 2 is 3x + 43

Now ,we have to solve the equation :  4x + 14 = 3x + 43

4x + 14 = 3x + 43

⇔ x = 43 - 14

⇔ x = 29

In this case Alan would pay the same amount for his dinner at any restaurant:

the price = 4×(29)+14 = 130

               = 3×(29)+43 = 130.
