PLEASE HELP! WILL MARK THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER BRAINLIEST! If a grocer mixed 6 lb of candies costing $2 per pound and 4 lb of candies costing $1.5 per pound, what will the price of the mixture be?
Let x be the price of the mixture.

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

(amount of candy1)(cost of candy1) + (amount of candy2)(cost of candy2) = total cost of mixture

6 lb * $2 + 4 lb * $1.50 = x

12 + 6 = x

x = $18

The price of the mixture is $18.

18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x=6*2+4*1.5

x=12+6

x=18

False

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you could add 16 to both sides, because the 16 is negative. 16 needs to be added to both sides to cancel it.

Then, you would divide by 6.

So, this is false because you would add 16 instead of subtracting 16.
