Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices are inconsistent, so there is no unique price that can be set for either an apple or an orange that will give the total prices indicated.

__

The first relation can be written as ...

  $10 = 4A +4O

  $10 = 4(A +O) . . . . factor out 4

  $2.50 = A +O . . . . divide by 4

The second relation can be written as ...

  $12 = 6A +6O

  $12 = 6(A +O) . . . . factor out 6

  $2 = A +O . . . . . . . divide by 6

These two relations give different prices for 1 apple and 1 orange. There is no price that can be set for either fruit that will give this result.

No unique prices can be assigned.

One fifth of a number, decreased by 17 is 41 in algebraic expression
asambeis [7]

The correct algebraic expression is X ÷ 5 - 17 = 41

<h3>What is an algebraic expression?</h3>

An algebraic expression is a term that refers to a way of representing mathematical operations in which letters and numbers are combined, related to signs of the operations such as:

  • Addition (+)
  • Subtraction (-)
  • Multiplication (×)
  • Division (÷)
  • Empowerment (x^{2})

According to the above, we can infer that the correct algebraic expression would be:

  • X ÷ 5 - 17 = 41

In this algebraic expression the letter X represents a number that we do not know and we must find.

Help me 3x+1/10=x-1/7 ok so I understand that I'm supposed to cross multiply so 1 x 10=10 7x3=21 so now do i do 21x-7? please He
koban [17]

Simplify both sides of the equation

3x+1/10 = x+ -1/7

Subtract x from both sides

3x+1/10 -x = x+ -1/7 -x

2x+1/10 = -1/7

Subtract 1/10 from both sides

2x+1/10 - 1/10 = -1/7 -1/10

2x= -17/70

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = -17/70/2

x= -17/140

decimal x will equal -0.121
