will medal and fan

OpenStudy (shaima):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so what you think of the first part a) what are we looking for?

OpenStudy (shaima):

idk im confused

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Ok let me ask you did the info include how much potting he bought last week?

OpenStudy (shaima):

no

OpenStudy (shaima):

i dont think so

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

good! what we don't know is indeed amount of potting last week ========== we know how much he bought this week: 28 LB

OpenStudy (shaima):

, he bought 28 lb this week, which is 4 more than twice the amount he purchased the previous week?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now that we know the unknown: we will call it p as part b) suggests

OpenStudy (shaima):

So p = (28 - 4)/2 so p= 12

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that is correct

OpenStudy (shaima):

so now what do i do?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

in part c) there asking what solve the equations 10,11,12 and you can see that 12 is the answer

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

well you went pretty fast you pretty much solve the rest already

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you just need to put it in sequence haha

OpenStudy (shaima):

so the answer is 12?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (shaima):

ty

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no problem

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

d and c actually are the same its just that c didn't really ask you to solve anything they just want you to try 10, 11, 12 and see which solves the equation

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

then in d you actually solve like you did

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

good luck
