Agirl scout sells 3 boxes of cookies during week 1. she has a goal to sell twice as many cookies each week as she did the week before. if she succeeds in doing this during weeks 2, 3, 4, and 5, how many boxes will she sell all together?

Boxes will she sell all together are:

  93

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

A girl scout sells 3 boxes of cookies during week 1.

She has a goal to sell twice as many cookies each week as she did the week before.

WEEK     NUMBER OF BOXES SOLD

 1                   3

 2                  6

 3                  12

 4                  24

 5                  48

Hence, total number of boxes sold= 3+6+12+24+48

                                                         = 93

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

1

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(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.
