Sorry could not type exponents
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54
Note that we have assumed 11.5 oranges per bag, and that partial bags are available.
If Chantal must buy whole bags of oranges, 5 bags will be needed and the cost will be $17.45.

We can begin by rewriting the problem:
4(2x + 5) + 2x + 3 = -11
Let’s solve in steps.
1. Distribute
8x + 20 + 2x + 3 = -11
2. Combine like terms
10x + 23 = -11
3. Subtract 23 from both sides
10x + (23 - 23) = -11 - 23
10x = -34
4. Divide both sides by 10
10 / 10 = 1 (or x)
-34 / 10 = -3.4
Therefore, x = -3.4.
