Zelda bought a blouse and a sweater for a total price of $79. The price of the sweater was $4 more than twice the price of the blouse. What was the price of the blouse?

Respuesta :

162 is your answer because u must multiply 79 times two then add the four so u can get 162
Let the blouse = b; let the sweater = 2b + 4

So we have b + 2b + 4 = 79.

3b + 4 = 79.

Subtract 4: 3b = 75.

Divide by 3: b = 75 / 3.

75 / 3 = 25.

b = 25.

The blouse (b) is 25$
