Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

5(2x+6)= -4(-5-2x)+3x
Contact [7]
5(2x + 6) = -4(-5 - 2x) + 3x

Distribute: 10x + 30 = 20 + 8x + 3x

Combine like terms: 10x + 30 = 20 + 11x

Simplify: 10x + 30 - 20 = 20 - 20 + 11x

Simplify: 10x - 10x + 10 = 11x - 10x

Divide for x: 10/1 = 1x/1

x = 10
