Answer:

Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35" is correct.

The number of ounces sold in each tube of glue is 0.54 ounces.

Let x be the number of ounces of glue in each tube.

Since there are 3 packs, the total number of ounces of glue in the 3 packs is x + x + x = 3x.

Now, since Jackie used 0.27 ounces of glue, the amount of glue left is 3x - 0.27. Since she had 1.35 ounces left in total, we have that.

3x - 0.27 = 1.35

This is a simple equation

So, solving for x, we have

3x = 1.35 + 0.27

3x = 1.62

Dividing through by 3, we have

x = 1.62/3

x = 0.54 ounces.

So, the number of ounces sold in each tube of glue is 0.54 ounces.
