Answer: -97
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 3lb pears is $3.87 lets say that every 1lb of pears costs $1.30.
say if you were to buy 2lb on-top of the 3lb it would cost $2.60 extra, causing the total price to be around $6.50 (rounded up)
so since 5lb is $6.65, i believe that the 3lb of pears is the better buy.
Answer:
3x-6=2x x=6

-6=2x-3x
-6=-x
6=x
In the problem. N+1=4(n-8)... the main goal is to isolate the variable(n) so, I would first distribute 4.. thus meaning 4•n + 4•-8=4n + - 32.... this works because of the distributive property. This would leave u with 4n + -32=n +1.... seeing that there was like terms in both side of the equation... I can cancel the n out of the other side; 1= (4n-n) -32, which is the same as 1=3n-32.... you can do the same with the whole numbers.... cancel the -32 out of one side by adding 32 to both sides; 33=3n and then easily u can find that 3•11= 33 so n=11
