Question 50351
Let x = number of pounds of cheese she can buy.


Then the equation will be this:
2.49*2 + 3.79*x = 9.50
4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50


Subtract 4.98 from each side:
4.98 -4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50-4.98
3.79x = 4.54


Divide both sides by 3.79
{{{x= 4.54/3.79=1.197889}}} pounds of cheese (almost 1.2 pounds).
