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.
