What makes math word problems challenging for you? If word problems are not hard for you, explain what you do to solve them.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try to read the word problem once first (no need to be really through just need to get an idea of what's really happening), and then read again, now a little more through, where you need to understand what the question wants of you. Once you understood the question, relate it to the topic you have learnt and see if there's any formula in this topic that you have been taught. If there is, keep all of these formulas in mind. If there isn't then it's good just search for all the numbers given in the question and form and equation in it or just solve. If there may be formulas involved, try relate the question/info given to the formulas you have in your head and yeah

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:

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
