Jalen bought 4 bottles of water, 2 bags of cashews, and a fruit salad. The cost of the fruit salad was $5. This expression was used to represent the amount Jalen should pay.
4x + 2x +5
Based on the expression, the cost of each bottle of water is?

water bottles = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2x + 5 = 25

1. you need to get rid of the five, so subtract it from both sides

4x + 2x = 20 2. based on the amount you paid you need to find two multiplication problems that will amount to $20 (4x3= 12 <- - water  2x4=8 <-- cashews)

underlined = cost per item
