10.40 - 1.29= 3.95x, Ryan bought 6.45 pounds of apples
10.40 - 1.29= 3.95x, Ryan bought 6.45 pounds of apples

1.29x + 3.95= 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples
1.29x + 3.95= 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples

3.95 - 1.29x= 10.40, Ryan bought 5.16 pounds of apples
3.95 - 1.29x= 10.40, Ryan bought 5.16 pounds of apples

GPT 3.5 · Accepted Answer

The correct setup and solution is:

1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40, where x represents the number of pounds of apples Ryan bought.

Solving this equation:

1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
1.29x = 6.45
x = 6.45/1.29
x = 5

Therefore, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples.
