A food pantry is making packages. Each package weighs 64 pounds. Here are two situations. For each situation, write and solve an equation to represent the situation, then explain what your solution means in the situation. If you get stuck, try drawing a diagram. (upload your work when complete)
1.Each package contains 4 boxes. Each box contains a 7-pound bag of beans and a bag of rice.
2.The bags of rice are all identical. Each package contains 4 identical bags of rice and a 7-pound bag of beans.

Please i rly need this

1) x = 14.25     2) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1 Package = 4 boxes

1 Box = 7 pounds of beans

Your equation should be 4x + 7 = 64...

because 64 is the total pounds that each package weigh!  4 becomes a a variable; 4x because it has the word "each" in it. Mostly likely, when you see "each" that number becomes a variable. 7 is a just an number you have to add to the equation.

Solve!

    4x + 7 = 64

          - 7    - 7          Subtract 7 from both sides

     4x = 57

     4x / 4 = 57 / 4     Divide 4 from both sides

x = 14.25

2)  9

the answer is 15% decrease
