P = 2L + 2W
L = W + 6
P = 2(W + 6) + 2W
P = 2W + 12 + 2W
P = 4W + 12
5 + 2(3x + 4) + x
5 + 6x + 8 + x
5 + 8 + 6x + x
13 + 7x Stop Don't go any further. That's the 11th commandment: Thou shalt not combine unlike terms.
Paul has a long drive. If Shelly waits up she better have some snacks
4*65 + x = 500 The x stands for the number of miles left to go
270 + x = 500 Subtract 280 from both sides
x = 500 - 270
x = 230
Just so you know if he keeps going at 65 mph the amount time will be
230/65 = 3.53 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
Would it be 24??
use distributive property
0.5 x -10 = -5
0.5 x k = 0.5k
0.5(-10 + k) = 0.5k -5
The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

To solve, set them equal to each other ...

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply
2 and 24 and we multiply
3 and x Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x =
x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola
