Joe bbq sells bbq by the pound michelle buys 8.75 worth of sides and then she get six pounds of bbq if her total was is 40. 55 how much was each pound of bbq

First, we need to set up an equation.

6x + 8.75 = 40.55

Then, we use the equation to solve for how much a pound of BBQ costs.

To move 8.75 to the other side, we have to subtract 8.75 from both sides of the equation.

6x = 40.55 - 8.75

6x = 31.8

Next, we divide both sides by 6 to get the value of x.

6x/6 = x

31.8/6 = 5.3

Lastly, add the correct unit.

$5.3.

Therefore, the price per pound of BBQ is $5.30

if the probability is 1/12, 75 people will receive a $25 gift card

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
