The answer is 12. All you had to do was divide.
So, 30 divided by 2.5 equals 12.
I hope this helps!
Ax+bx−c=0
Step 1: Add c to both sides.
ax+bx−c+c=0+c
ax+bx=c
Step 2: Factor out variable x.
x(a+b)=c
Step 3: Divide both sides by a+b.
x(a+b)a+b=ca+b
x=ca+b

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any questions
You add half of the coefficient of x and square it.
What you do on one side,you must do it on the other.
2.5/x = 1/16
cross mutiply
x = 40 oz
40 oz - 6oz = 34 oz
