To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.
For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:
Let's distribute the 0.5 first.
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.
Then, we simplify the entire expression.
Our equation now:
Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.
Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.
Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.
Answer:
The apricots are less expensive per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2
Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98
So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99
Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3
Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25
So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.
To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.
The length of the pool table is 4 and the width of the table is 8.
W=4
L=8
W times L=32 or 4 times 8=32
