Samuel bought 32 ibs. of mulch this week. this amount is 4 ib. more than twice the amount of mulch bought last week. answer the following questions to find the number of pounds of mulch samuel purchased last week.
a what is the unknown information?
b let p represent the unknown information wire and equation to model the problem.
c which number, 12, 13 or 14, will solve the equation.
d how many pounds of mulch did samuel buy last week?
answer all questions a to d

A. The amount mulch bought last week.

B. 2p + 4 = 32

C. p = 14

D. He bought 14 pounds of mulch last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have given,

The number of pounds bought by Samuel this week = 32,

Also, this week he bought 4 pounds more than twice the amount of mulch bought last week,

∵ We did not give the amount mulch bought last week,

Hence, the unknown information is the amount mulch bought last week.

B. If p represents the amount mulch bought last week,

According to the question,

2p + 4 = 32

Which is the required equation.

C. Subtract 4 on both sides,

2p = 28

p = 14

Hence, the solution of the equation is 14.

D. He bought 14 pounds of mulch last week.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
