Take a picture of the problem on PhotoMath and it will break down all of your steps.
Answer:
4n + 8 = -48
n = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using key words from the problem, you can set up an equation with the proper operations to solve for the variable. Product = multiplication, so the 'product of 4 and a number' = 4n. Increased = addition, so increased by 8 = 4n + 8. The word 'is' means equal to, so:
4n + 8 = -48
In order to solve for 'n', you use inverse (opposite) operations and whatever you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other:
Subtract 8: 4n + 8 - 8 = -48 - 8 or 4n = -56
Divide 4: 4n/4 = -56/4
Solve for 'n': n = -14
6x+8, add both sides together and multiply by 2
Answer:
Bob is paying more for the actual steak
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Maria selects a cut that costs $19.98 per pound (Maria's steak is all meat)
Bob’s selection costs $13.98 per pound (Bob’s cut of beef is 1⁄3 bone and fat)
so
Bob's cut is 2/3 all meat
Find the unit rate of Bob's cut for all meat

therefore

Bob is paying more for the actual steak
