Coach Carter buys 4 boxes of crackers from a store to sell at the concession stand. Each box contains 24 packs of crackers. When he opens the boxes, he finds that 16 packs of crackers are broken up and cannot be sold. Based on these results, what can the coach predict about buying more crackers from the same store? 8 boxes will contain 32 packs of broken crackers

5 boxes will contain 10 packs of broken crackers

1 box will contain 3 broken packs of crackers

3 boxes will contain 9 broken packs of crackers

I believe that A would be the correct answer im not sure but ill explain from the best of my ability

Step-by-step explanation:

OK SO FOR THE EXPLANATION I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A BECAUSE USUALLY ON THE OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE HAD IT WOULD USUALLY SPLIT THE FIRST AMOUNT IN HALF AND THAT IS MY EXPLANATION GOOD LUCK

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome

step-by-step explanation:

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 .
