If you subtract 27 from 5 times the mystery number, you get 83. what is the mystery number?

Let's call the mystery number x.
Start off with multiplying x by 5.
Your equation so far is 5x.
Next we subtract 27
5x - 27
Our solution is 83 
5x - 27 = 83
Add 27 to both sides
5x = 110
Divide both sides by 5 
x = 22

Let's call "the myster number"  x, so five times the mystery number will be equal to 5x, then we will subtract 27 from 5 times the mystery number and that will be equal to, 5x-27 and that is equal to 83, so let' solve :

A) price of a pound of cabbage is $0.60

B) the price of 10 pounds of cabbage is $6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportionality is given by:

then, solving for "y" (the price in dollars  yo get:

y = (3/5) x

Part A:

Then, to find the price of a pound of cabbage , we use x = 1:

y = (3/5) (1) = 3/5 = $0.6 (60 cents of a dollar)

Part B:

the ordered pair (10, 6)  Represents that the price of 10 pounds of cabbage is $6.
