How did you do 2 step equations but in a word problem? Thankyou

Answer:

A example:  A customer brought 5 quarts of lemonade from Leah's stand. She also tipped Leah an additional $2. The customer finally paid a total of $27 including the tip. How much is each quart of lemonade worth? If x is what the lemonade is worth, write an equation to figure out the total.

In this problem, the x is what the lemonade is worth. So you should start with a 5x. The customer also tipped $2. So you should add 2 to the 5x. We also know the total, 27.

With the information we can form an equation.

5x + 2 = 27.

To solve, we can subtract 2 from both sides and finally dived by 5 on both sides as well. Your final answer should be x = 5.

Hopefully this is what you're looking for, sorry for being late!

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks. Quincy and his mo
Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

rc = planted rows of carrots

rt = planted rows of tomatoes

h = number of hours

rc = 4h + 1 (starting with 1 already finished row there will be 4 additional rows every hour)

rt = 3h + 8 (staying with 8 already finished rows there will be 3 additional rows every hour).

when will they have planned the same number of rows ?

when rc = rt, of course.

so,

4h + 1 = 3h + 8

h = 7

4×7 + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29 rows

after 7 hours Quincy and his mom will each have planted 29 rows of vegetables.
