4x + 2x +5
Based on the expression, the cost of each bottle of water is?

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

According to the equation, the cost of each bottle of water is x

How to determine the cost of each bottle water?

The expression is given as:

4x + 2x + 5

Where he bought

  • 4 bottles of water
  • 2 bags of cashews
  • a fruit salad.

We have:

4x + 2x + 5

Express as products

4 * x + 2 * x + 5 * 1

This gives

4 * cost of bottle water + 2 * cost of cashew bag + 5 * number of fruit salad

The above means that, the costs are

  • Bottle of water = x
  • Bag of cashew = x
  • Fruit salad = $5

Hence, the cost of each bottle of water is x
