Roseanne is making chocolate chip cookies for dessert the recipe for one batch of chocolate chip cookies calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar how many cups of sugar will roseanne need to make 3 1/2 batches of cookies

8 3/4 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch of chocolate chip cookies ↔ 2 1/2 cups of sugar

3 1/2 batch of chocolate chip cookies ↔ 3 1/2 * 2 1/2 cups of sugar

3 1/2 * 2 1/2 = 7/2 * 5/2 = 35/4 = 8 3/4 = 8.75

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 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.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

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

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .

16.80 times .20= 3.36
