3. Olivia ordered 24 cupcakes and a layer cake. The layer cake cost $16 more than one cupcake, and the total cost of the order was $53.50. What was the price of each cupcake?
a) Define a variable for the cost of one cupcake.
b) Write an expression to represent the cost of a layer cake.
c) Write and solve an equation.
d) Interpret your solution within the context of the problem.

$2.14

Step-by-step explanation:

x =  price

24x+(x+16) = 53.5

25x+16 = 53.5

25x+53.5

x=53.5/25=2.14

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8
