Respuesta :

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pound of luggage over 5o be x

then

425 + 5x =450

or, 5x = 450-425

0r, 5x = 25

x = 5

Answer:

5 Ibs

Step-by-step explanation:

So she spent a total of $450, and she had to spend $425 on the airline ticket.

So she has $25 left, but she spent $450 total so that extra $25 must be for the extra luggage. So it says $5 for every Ib. past 50. So $5 will go into $25 5 times. 5 x 5 = 25. So she has 55 Ibs of luggage so thats an extra 5 Ibs.

Hope it helps :P
