I plugged it into my calculator and I got 1,870.
-22 - x = 5 + 6x + 9 Combine like terms (5 and 9)
-22 - x = 14 + 6x Subtract 6x from both sides
-22 - 7x = 14 Add 22 to both sides
-7x = 36 Divide both sides by -7
x = 5
Answer:
50 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Before drying, the cranberries have ...
(100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb
of "meat."
After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...
1 lb = 2%·x
x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb
The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.
