A 5 pound tub of cottage cheese at n dollars per pound costs $10.25 . Write an equation for the following word problem

5n = $10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tub is 5 pounds, and costs $10.25. We also know that n is in dollars per pound. Dollars per pound can be written as the product of dollars, divided by pounds, so we can plug that in being n = $10.25/5, next we want to make the equation contain an integer on both sides and not contain any fractions, so we multiply both sides by 5, resulting in 5n = $10.25

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
