A is correct hope this helps
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
its more oval
The formula of a slope:
We have the points A(2, 18) and B(-2, 4). Substitute:
Line up 136 and 212 with 136 on top and 212 on the bottom.
136
+212
____
now add up the end numbers, 6 and 2. That's 8. Since 8 is only a single-digit number, it fits in the space. Write that down under 6 and 2.
Next, add up the middle numbers, 3 and 1. That's 4, it fits in the space, so you don't need to regroup here either.
Now add up the first number in each, and that adds up to 3.
The sum is the number you wrote down! It should look something like this.
136
+212
____
348
You can say that the sum of these numbers is 348, and you did not have to regroup because the sums of each digit was under 10!
