The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2. What is the number? A. -4
B. -2
C. -1
D. 1

The answer would be A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you right it out like x-6=5(x+2), then you distribute the 5, you get: x-6=5x+10. Then subtract x from both sides, you get: -6=4x+10. Subtract 10 from both sides, you get: -16=4x. The all you have to do is divide both sides by 4, and you get: -4=x

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
