Emmanuel bought 27 lb of potting soil this week. this amount is 5 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he bought last week. answer the following questions to find the number of pounds of soil emmanuel purchased last week.

Emmanuel purchased 11 pounds of soil last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the number of pounds of soil Emmanuel purchased last week, we will have to work backwards.

We know that the amount is 5 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he bought last week. This info gives us an equation.

2x + 5 = 27, as its twice the amount last week and 5 lbs more. Now we solve.

2x + 5 = 27 | Subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 22 | Divide both sides by 2

x = 11

$12. that is my answer.
