Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 1 from each side

-5x + 1-1 = 31-1

-5x = 30

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = 20/-5

Komok [63]

Answer:

Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.

- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00

And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
