I don’t know I’m sorry I got 6x and I don’t think that’s right
(x,y) = (r,16)
With this knowledge, plug in r for x, and 16 for y
16 = 2(r) - 4
Isolate the r, add 4 to both sides
16 (+4) = 2r - 4 (+4)
20 = 2r
Divide 2 from both sides
20/2 = 2r/2
r = 20/2
r = 10
hope this helps
I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.
