Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)

-----------------------

B)

Distribute

5x = 3x - 7.5

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x = -7.5

Divde both sides by 2

x = -3.75

-----------------------

C)

5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)

-18.75 = -18.75

D)

Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items

Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items

There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative

Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
