It’s equal to 1
2x divide by 2x = 1
— —
2x divide by 2x 1
which equals to 1
So firstly, let's figure out the expression for a singular goody bag. Since there's 2 of each item, a single goody bag is going to be 
Now since we have 7 friends who are all getting 1 goody bag, multiply the cost of the goody bag by 7, and our expression is
. Now we can solve it from there.
Firstly, solve the multiplication inside the parentheses: 
Now add up what's inside the parentheses: 
Lastly, multiply and <u>your answer will be $56.56</u>
As was the case in your previous question, this problem involves setting two ratios equal to each other. We call such an equation a proportion.
16 miles = x miles
(1/2) inch 2 3/4 inches
x = (11/4) * 16 = (11/4) * 2 * 16 = 88 miles
(1/2)
Answer:
c = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute the 9 to the parentheses:
7c + 5 = 9(c − 3)
7c + 5 = 9c - 27
Then, subtract 7c from both sides:
5 = 2c - 27
Add 27 to both sides:
32 = 2c
Divide each side by 2:
16 = c
So, c = 16
