If (x-24)0.25 = 4, distribute 0.25 within the parenthesis.
0.25x - 6 = 4
0.25x = 10
Divide both sides by 0.25
x = 40

ANSWER
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 3.
EXPLANATION
The solution to the system of equations is the point of intersection of the straight lines that represents the given system.
From the graph the two straight lines intersected at:
(3,2)
Hence the solution to the system of equations is (3,2)
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 3.
Answer:
2.25 or 2 1/4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the weight of the food and water. To do this, find the difference between his backpack before the food and water and after. His backpack without the food is 7 3/4 pounds, and his backpack after is 11 3/4 pounds.
11 3/4 - 7 3/4
4
The food and water together weigh 4 pounds. We know the water weighs 1 3/4 pounds, so we can subtract it from the total to find what the food weighs.
4- 1 3/4
2 1/4
As a decimal: 2.25
The food weighs 2 1/4 or 2.25 pounds
