At the grocery store Ryan bought a loaf of bread and some apples. The loaf of bread cost $3.95 and the apples cost $1.29 per pound. If Ryan spent $10.40 for the loaf of bread and apples, how many pounds of apples did he buy? Set up the problem and solve it.
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
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
3.95 + 1.29x=10.40, Ryan bought 4 pounds of apples

The correct equation to solve for the pounds of apples Ryan bought is 1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40.
u sure? if you are sure explain
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct. Let's solve the equation step by step:
To find the number of pounds of apples, let's set up the equation 1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40, where x represents the number of pounds of apples.
First, subtract 3.95 from both sides of the equation:
1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
1.29x = 6.45
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 1.29 to solve for x:
x = 6.45 / 1.29
This gives us:
x = 5
Therefore, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples. Thank you for catching the mistake earlier, and I apologize for any confusion caused.

is it 3.95 - 1.29x= 10.40, Ryan bought 5.16 pounds of apples or is it .29x + 3.95= 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the equation step by step:
The correct equation to represent the situation is 3.95 - 1.29x = 10.40.
To solve for x, we will subtract 3.95 from both sides to isolate the term with x:
-1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
Simplify the right side of the equation:
-1.29x = 6.45
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -1.29:
x = 6.45 / -1.29
This gives us:
x = -5
However, since the number of pounds of apples cannot be negative, we can conclude that there was an error in the calculations.
The correct equation should be: 1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40.
Subtract 3.95 from both sides:
1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
Simplify the right side:
1.29x = 6.45
Divide both sides by 1.29:
x = 6.45 / 1.29
This gives us:
x = 5
Therefore, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples. Apologies for the earlier mistakes and for any confusion caused. Thank you for pointing it out.
