Answer:

x= -5/2 x = -2.5 same thing just one is fraction and the other is decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 5 from both sides

-2(x-1)=7

divide both sides by -2

x-1= -7/2

add 1 to both sides

x= -5/2  x=-2.5

you can plug it x back in to check you answer

5 - 2 ( -5/2 -1) = 12

5 - 2 (-7/2) = 12

5 + 7 = 12

12 = 12 so this is correct

Lulu found a recipe for her favourite snack: yogurt covered peanut clusters. Lulu wanted to make a large batch of peanut cluster
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

How much would it cost to buy 10 pounds of peanuts?

Answer: $35

What is the cost per pound?

Answer: $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, to find the anser to the first question, we need to find out the second question. So, what is the cost per pound.

Well if she got 4 pounds for $14, we should try dividing 14 by 4.

14 divided by 4 = 3.5 ($3.50)

So the cost per pound is $3.50

Now to find out how much it costs if Lulu bought 10 pounds, we need to multiply.

10 x 3.5 = 35

So if she bought 10 pounds, she would play $35
