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

Answer:
Equation: $3500+$225s=c
To transport 16 tons of sugar the Sugar Sweet Company will need $7100
Step-by-step explanation:
Notes:
$3500 to rent truck
$225 for each ton of sugar
S is sugar in tons
C is total
Truck is a set cost so you leave it alone
Sugar in the truck is $225 each ton in this case its 16 tons
$3500+$225S=C
Plug in: $3500+$225(16)=C
$3500+$3600=C
C=$7100
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
25x = 300
Rearrange to solve
x = 300 divided by 25 = 12

Answer: let the no of paperback books be x and hardcover books be y
4y - x = 3
Therefore, x - 4y = -3 -----(1)
x + y = 447 ----(2)
Put x = 447 - y in eqn 1
447- y - 4y = -3
-5y = -3 - 447
-5y = -450
y = 90
x = 357
