Dallas Goodwin · Answer 1

A. $7.50=$2.95-13x B. Answer would be $0.35, this is because you first subtract 2.95 from both sides, after that you get 4.55, you then divide the 4.55 by 13 which is the amount of bagels Sylvie bought. This leave you with the number 0.35, which is how much each bagel cost, 35 cents.
