Answer: 20 oranges and 5 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the following:

x = number of oranges

y = number of mangoes

Make the following system of equations:

x + y = 25

0.35x + 1.00y = 12.00

Solve for x:

y = 25 - x

⇒ 0.35x + 1.00(25 - x) = 12.00

⇒ 0.35x + 25 - x = 12.00

⇒ -0.65x = -13.00

⇒ x = 20

Solve for y:

20 + y = 25

y = 5

∴ 20 oranges and 5 mangoes were purchased.

Simplify the expression 13. 8+(-11. 5). Use pencil and paper. How are 13. 8 + (-11. 5) and (-13. 8) +11. 5
VashaNatasha [74]

On simplifying the expression 13.8+ (-11.5) , we get 2.3 . And additions

13.8 + (-11.5) and (-13.8) +  11.5 are numbers will same value and opposite sign.

<h3>What are rules for adding a positive and a negative number?</h3>

For adding a negative and a positive number, use the sign of the larger number and subtract.

For example: (–8) + 2 = -6

Given that we have to solve 13.8 + (-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 (we subtract smaller no from larger and will use the sign of lager number that is + here)

13.8+(-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 =2.3

13.8+(-11.5) simply means that 13.8 -11.5 which is subtraction of 11.5 from 13.8

but (-13.8) +  11.5 = -13.8 +11.5  =  -( 13.8 -11.5) [taking -1  common from the expression]

Therefore , -13.8 + 11.5 has same value as 13.8- 11.5 but opposite  in sign.

Find X:<br><br> Solving Linear Equations With A Variable On Only One Side Of The Equation.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x = 22 (see explanation!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just with any algebraic equation, you will want to isolate the variable (x). Here's a step-by-step to show you how it's done:

1/7(x + 6) = 4

Multiply by 7 to get rid of the 1/7 (since 7 * 1/7 = 7/7 = 1)

7*1/7(x+6) = 7*4

x+6 = 28

Now, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate x:

x + 6 - 6 = 28 - 6

Finally:

x = 22

Three consecutive even integers have a sum of -126. What is the smallest integer ?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

-40, - 42 and -44

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastes way here is trying. Lets pick a number, intelligently, and then work on it.

We need three even integers that sum -126. These will be all negative numbers and as they are consecutive they will be very similar (for example, -33 and -35 and -37). Thus, lets start by 1/3 of -126, which is -42:

(-42)+ (-44) + (-46) = - 132, so -42 no.

Lets go a step back: -40

(-40) + (-42) + (-44) = -126

So, the integers are -40, -42 and -44
