Answer: K = -14
Step-by-step explanation: solve for k by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variable
5.5x+180=455
5.5x=275
The answer is X=50
Answer: packages of buns: 100
packages of patties: 67
jars of pickles: 133
(100,67,133)
Step-by-step explanation: packages of buns: B
packages of patties: P
jars of pickles: J
B:P:J = 3:2:4
B + P + J = 300
Let x be the number we must multiply the numbers to obtain the quantity and keep the ratio.
Bx + Px + Jx = 300
3x + 2x + 4x = 300
x = 300/9
So,
3.300/9 = 100
2.300/9 = 66.6666
4.300/9 = 133.333
As we cannot buy 0.666 or 0.33 of patties and pickles, we round up
So: packages of buns: 100
packages of patties: 67
jars of pickles: 133
We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is 
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
