At the market 2.4 pounds of peas cost 1.68 how much does one pound of peas cost?

2.4x=1.68. x= 1pound
So to get the x away from the 2.4 you must divide. And what you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other side
2.4/2.4=1 So then you would go 1.68/2.4 to calculate the cost of one pound

It think the answer would probably be 4.08

All real numbers would be the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 4x =2 and y = 2x + 1

We solve but placing the value of y into the first equation:

2(2x + 1) - 4x = 2

Next we distribute the 2 through the parenthesis:

4x + 2 - 4x = 2

Now we gather like terms:

2 = 2 ( note the 4x and - 4x cancel out)

Since 2 =2 this tells us that all real numbers would work.
