The amount of time (t) in minutes it takes to make a coffee at Starbucks is related to (n) the number of coffees they purchase. The equation is t= 21-3 How long does it take if a customer buys 5 coffees?

7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no n variable in the question, found the original question and the equations is: t = 2n – 3.

So, to answer this question we simply have to substitute n=5 in the equation given:

t = 2(5) – 3.

Solving for t(time)

t = 10-3 = 7 min.

It will take the customer 7 minutes to buy 5 coffees.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
