Okay. so we need 15 2/5 pound bags. We'll calculate how many pounds that actually comes to. Our problem is 15x2/5. Using cross simplification, our problem becomes 3x2. 3x2=6. We need 6 pounds. That means that we must have 6 1-pound bags to fit with no leftovers.
Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 5 on both sides:
-2x + 5 =- -31
-5 -5
-2x = -36
Divide by -2 on both sides:
-2x = -36
/-2 /-2
x = 18
