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

What’s this problem
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

use FOIL- Firsts Outsides Insides Lasts

  1. Multiply the -4 and -3 as they are the first numbers of each brackets -4x-3=12
  2. Next the outsides so -4x6i as they are on the outskirts of each brackets -4x6i= -24i
  3. Insides so 3i and -3 as they are in the centre of the two brackets 3ix-3= -9i
  4. Lasts so 3i and 6i as they are at the end of each bracket 3ix6i=18i^2 ( i squared)
  5. add the answers together - 12+-24i+-9i+18i^2= 12-24i-9i+18i^2
  6. Simplify by adding like terms which is -24i and -9i.
<h3>12+-33i+18i^2 is the answer </h3>
