Answer:

Let bags of pecans cost = x

Make an equation :

Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)

Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)

Cost for pecans = 3x

Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15

Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost

Solve for x:

3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)

3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)

8x + 15 = 55

8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)

8x = 40

8x/8 = 40/8

x = 5

bags pecans cost is $5

bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8

the length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than the width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 24in what are the dimensions of
Murljashka [212]
Let's say:
lengh=x
width=y

"The length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than the width."
That means: x=y+4 (in inches).

the parameter is (by definition) 2*lenght+2*width.

so we have 2*x+2y=24.
we also know that x=y+4

Substituting:

2*(y+4)+2y=24.
2*y+8+2y=24
4*y+8=24//substitute 8 from both sides
4*y=16//dividing both sides by 4.

y=4
So the width is 4!

The lenght is y+4=8!
the dimensions are 4 by 8.
(check: 2*4+2*8=24, correct!)
