Princess Fiona gave the cashier $10 to buy five
pieces of candy. She
received $1.25 in change. If
each candy costs the same
amount, what is the cost of
each candy?

$1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract 1.25 from 10

= 8.75

Then you divide 8.75 by 5

= 1.75

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
