<h3>Answer: 2.4 pounds per dollar</h3>

Explanation:

We can set up the ratio

12 pounds : 5 dollars

Then divide both parts of that ratio by 5 so that the "5 dollars" becomes "1 dollar"

12/5 = 2.4
5/5 = 1

The ratio 12 pounds : 5 dollars is equivalent to 2.4 pounds : 1 dollar

Given the equation 4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

MariettaO [177]

Part 1: $4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)$

$4x+7=6x-15$

$7=6x-15-4x

$

$7=2x-15$

$7+15=2x$

$22=2x$

$22=2x / 2$

$x=11$

Part 2: Sam is not correct because <span>he messed up the second step. He added 2x on both sides to get 7x, instead he should have subtracted. </span>
