Subtract 8d from both sides
21 = 12d + 5 - 8d
Simplify 12d + 5 - 8d to 4d + 5
21 = 4d + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides
21 - 5 = 4d
Simplify 21 - 5 to 16
16 = 4d
Divide both side by 4
16/4 = d
Simplify 16/4 to 4
4 = d
Switch sides
d = 4
<u>Check answer</u>
8d + 21 =12d + 5
Let d = 4
8 × 4 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 8 × 4 to 32
32 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 12 × 4 to 48
32 + 21 = 48 + 5
Simplify 32 + 21 to 53
53 = 48 + 5
Simplify 48 + 5 to 53
53 = 53
I cant help you there m8 the I'm not able to see the problem I'm sorry.
we are given
we can solve for x
We can isolate x
step-1: Multiply both sides by b/a
step-2:Add 12 both sides
step-3: combine right side
step-4:Divide both sides by 2

The price of the small pots is $2.40 so you would have 2.4s ( multiply the number of small pots by the price)
She bought a total of 14 pots, so the number of large pots would be 14 - s ( subtract the number of small pots from the total )
Now you have:
L = 14-s
2.4s + 5.6(14-s) = 49.6
The answer is C.
