The price of apples went down by $0.15 per pound. Kim bought 6 pounds of apples at the new price for a total of $8.88. Write an equation to determine the original price per pound (p).
Find the original price per pound.

(p x 6)+8.88= $9.78

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 0.15 by 6

6 x 0.15= 0.90

add that to 8.88 and you get $9.78

hope this helps! ;P

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
