Answer:

C. $16.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25

2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.

y = x - 0.20

Hence, we substitute

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25

2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25

3.75x = 31.5

x = 31.5/3.75

x = $8.4

The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4

y = x - 0.20

y = 8.4 - 0.20

y = $8.2

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2

The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish

= $8.4 + $8.2

=$16.60

3+x) 5<br> Solve it for me, and tell me how to do it EXPLANATION NEEDED
grigory [225]
I’m not too sure of what the equation is but I made a guess let me know if this was the right equation please I can redo it.

But, when solving this equation you are trying to find the value of x. To do that you have to get rid of the 3.

You would either add or subtract the 3 on both sides.

When the three is gone you should have somthing like

x = 5
- 3

Which you would move on to subtract the 5-3 and get 2.

x= 2

Here’s a picture of how I solved it
