A box has twice as many grapes as a basket. Once 2kg of grapes were added to the basket, it contained 0.5 kg more than the box.

How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?

By solving a system of equations, we will see that now there are 3.5kg of grapes on the basket.

<h3>How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

  • x = kg of grapes on the box originally.
  • y = kg of grapes on the basket originally.

We know that:

x = 2y

When we add 2kg to the basket, it has 0.5k more than the box, then:

y + 2 = x + 0.5

Then we have a system of equations:

x = 2y

y + 2 = x + 0.5

We want to solve this for y, then we can replace the first equation into the second one:

y + 2 = (x = 2y) + 0.5

y + 2 = 2y + 0.5

2 - 0.5 = 2y - y

1.5 = y

This means that, originally, there are 1.5 kg of grapes on the basket. And then we added 2kg, so now there are:

1.5kg + 2kg = 3.5kg

MariettaO [177]
Oh, I SEE what da pattern is! =D
You see, like in this problem:
2 + 5 = 12
They did 5 times 2 = 10, plus da 2 in da problem = 12.
Same with 3 + 6 = 21, 6 times 3 = 18, 18 plus da 3 given in da problem = 21.
Just like 1 + 4 = 5, 4 times 1 = 4, plus da 1 in da problem = 5.
SO,
with that strategy, 8 +11 = 96, because 8 times 11 = 88, plus da 8 given in da problem = 96.
I hope I helped! =D

In the function y = a(x – h)2 + k
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

h is the horizontal shift

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

This is the equation for a parabola in vertex form

The vertex is ( h,k) and it is shifted from (0,0)

h is the horizontal shift and k is the vertical shift

Ket [755]

Answer:

(F). People may have a career following their passion, but have a low income or a long commute.

(A). A working spouse could affect all three variables. (C).People might be very satisfied with their career as long as the income is high.

(E). One-way commute times may be long because affordable housing is distant from the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. People may have a career following their passion, but have a low income or a long commute.

sometimes people can get jobs based on their passion but might still have low income and a long commute.

b. A working spouse could affect all three variables.

Yea a working spouse considers the income rate, job satisfaction and commute time involved in a job because it can affect their daily lives.

c. People might be very satisfied with their career as long as the income is high.

Most people are more satisfied with their career when the income rate is high.

d. One-way commute times may be long because affordable housing is distant from the job.
