Answer:
We are given that 4 lb of candies are bought for $9.00
Therefore, the price of 1 lb of candies is:
Now the amount of candies that can bought for $12.00 is:
lb
Therefore, 5.3333 lb of candies can be bought for $12.00
You save 5 cents per ounce by using the 40 ounce jar, because if you do $5.20 divided by 40 it equals $0.13 but if you do $2.70 divided by 15 it equals $0.18 which is 5 more cents the the 40 ounce
Answer:
x = - 8 , x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, , that is
x + 3 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = 2
or
-(3 + x) = 5
- 3 - x = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )
- x = 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 8
