Answer:
The required expression is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Write an expression for this scenario
If 1 pound of blueberry cost $2.50
then b pounds = 2.50 * b
If 1 pound of apple cost $2
then a pounds = 2 * a
The required expression (y) is then calculated as
Hence, the required expression is:
The expression 5x+3 would be three more than five times a number! More than in this case would be addition - so if you get the same problem with subtraction you just change more to less!
Basically what it's tell you is that if x stood for 2 in this case 5*2 = 10 since it's 3 MORE than 5 times a number (x is in place of a number), you're adding 3 to 10 and that gives you 13!
I hope I simplified it a little more and you understand!
Good luck, rockstar! c: I hope this helped!
-- After dog ate 1/2 of the collection, there were 29 remaining.
-- Just before dog came along, there were (2 x 29) = 58 cards.
-- That was after Dan added 5 new ones.
-- Before he added the 5 new ones, there were (58 - 5) = 53 cards.
-- When this story began, Dan had <em>53 cards</em>.
Hey there!
The answer to your question is 
Write the equation
Distribute -2
Combine like terms
Add 10 to both sides
Divide both sides by -11
Hope it helps and have a great day!
