If Leonard bought 2 packs of batteries for x amount of dollars, how many packs of batteries could he
purchase for $5.00 at the same rate? - Answer - First set the relationship up and solve for the number of

Enrique weighs 5 pounds more than twice Brendan's weight. If their total weight is 225 pounds, how
much does Enrique weigh? - Answer - if E + B = 225, and E = 2B + 5, then 225 - B = 2B + 5. Solving for B,
3B = 220 and B = 73.3. 225 - 73.3 = 151.7.
What does (4x - y) + (-10 + y) equal if x = 3 and y = 4? - Answer - plugging in x and y, you get (4(3) - 4) +
