When sharon began shopping this morning, she had $40.00. she purchased five paperback books and had lunch. the books were all the same price, and lunch cost $3.25. she now has $7.00 left over. what was the price of each of the books?

40-7 = 33

33-3.25 = 29.75

29.75/5 = 5.95 each

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
