What does the variable x represent
3 answers
The variable x represents the cost of the non-perishable food items in each gobble kit.
Now solve Stacy's equation for x
3(x + 20) = 114
3x + 60 = 114
3x = 114 - 60
3x = 54
x = 54 / 3
x = 18
Therefore, the cost of the non-perishable food items in each gobble kit is $18.
3x + 60 = 114
3x = 114 - 60
3x = 54
x = 54 / 3
x = 18
Therefore, the cost of the non-perishable food items in each gobble kit is $18.
