So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
 then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7

After a hike, a group of students equally share 5 boxes of granola bars. Each box has 8 granola bars. Which algebraic expression
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: B.

First, we have to have a question for this problem to create a solution. So, the example sentence is how many granola bars does each student get.

Second, an algebraic expression has a variable in it. So since we are trying to find the number of students, the variable is s.

From looking at C and D, we can already eliminate them. This question has mostly multiplication and division words in it, so it can't be addition and multiplication.

Now, we only have A and B left. A tip on  how to figure this out is reading the word problem out thoroughly. I will use B as an example. 5 boxes of granola bars were multiplied by the number of granola bars each student got. From reading this, it makes more sense. But it does change the example sentence, though.

I hope this helped and this is the right answer!

Helen [10]
Fran will have a base amount of $800 saved at the end of the 20 weeks assuming she continues to get at least 15 hours and her expenses don't increase (40x20 =800). At a net pay rate of $15 per hour (225/15=15), she will need to work an additional two hours per week for a total of 17 hours to earn the $600 needed to meet her goal. [15x2= 30, 30x20=600]
