The answer is 2 and negative 9
So you must find individual prices.
Start by doing the price($2.00)divided by the amount in box(8)
you should get 0.25 or 25 cents per chocolate
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
