Answer:

-5(3x + 6) = -3(4x - 2)

Distribute -5 through the parenthesis

-15x - 30 = -3(4x - 2)

distribute -3 through the other parenthesis

-15x - 30 = -3( -12x + 6 )

move the variable the left hand side, change sign

-15x + 12 - 30 = 6

move constant to the right hand side

-15x + 12 = 6 + 30

collect like terms

-3x = 6 + 30

add the numbers

-3x = 36

divide both sides by -3

-3/-3 = 36/-3

x = -12

Answer:

-5(3x + 6) = -3(4x - 2)

-15x-30=-12x+6

-30-6=-12x+15x

3x=-36

x=-36/3=-12

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

1.72973 oz/serving.  Perhaps round to 1.73 oz, although there is only 1 sig fig in "4-pound bag."  But the problem states "exactly."

Step-by-step explanation:

We want oz/serving, so let's convert the pounds of rice to total ounces of rice:

We are told that 16 oz = 1 pound.  Make that a conversion factor:  (16 oz/1 pound)

(4 pounds)*((16 oz/1 pound) = 64 ounces

We are told that 4 pounds (64 ounces) makes 37 servings.  So:

(64 ounces)/(37 servings) = 1.72973 oz/serving
