Answer:
To solve for n you need to get it by itself
First you want to distribute your 2 through the (3n+14)
-2n+6n+28=-20 (2*3n+2*14= 6n+28)
Now you want to combine any like terms if possible
4n+28=-20 (-2n+6n=4n, both like terms)
Then you want to subtract -28 from both sides
4n=-48 (28-28=0, -20-28=-48)
Lastly you want to divide both sides by 4
n=-12 (4n/4=n, -48/4= -12)
I use it as a short way to say "okay" but I don't know how others may use it.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream. Since the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream are twice the price of 1 scoop of ice cream, therefore the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream = 2x
Jean buys 4 tubs with 2 scoops in them and 2 tubs with 1 scoop each. Therefore the money spent by Jean is:
Money spent by Jean = 4(2x) + 2(x) = 8x + 2x = 10x
Sarah buys 2 tubs of 2 scoops and 4 tubs of 1 scoop. The money spent by Sarah is:
Money spent by Sarah = 2(2x) + 4(x) = 4x + 4x = 8x
Sarah spends 2.50 € less than Jean. Therefore:
Money spent by Sarah = Money spent by Jean - 2.5
8x = 10x - 2.5
2x = 2.5
x = €1.25
Therefore the cost of 1 scoop of ice cream is €1.25, the cost of 2 scoops of ice cream is €2.50.
Money spent by Jean = 10x = 10(1.25) = €12.5
Money spent by Sarah = 8x = 8(1.25) = €10
