It just wants you to simplify your expression. Does every single variable have a number in common?
Answer:
<h2>0.85</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
apple cost = total cost - grapes package cost
5 apples cost = 6.60 - 2.35
= 4.25
per apple cost = 4.25 ÷ 5

Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number.
Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x. x-(-4x)
Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3
So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.
Then, solve the equation!
x-(-4x)=x+3
x+4x=x+3 (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)
5x=x+3 (Combine like terms)
4x=3 (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)
x=0.75 or 3/4 (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
