Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)
-----------------------
B)
Distribute
5x = 3x - 7.5
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = -7.5
Divde both sides by 2
x = -3.75
-----------------------
C)
5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)
-18.75 = -18.75
D)
Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items
Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items
There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative
Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
5.C
6.A
Hope this helps and is correct
