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

Solve the following equations;-<br><br> x - 9 /√x + 3 =1
fgiga [73]

Answer:

13 , 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation to us is ,

\sf\implies \dfrac{ x -9}{\sqrt{x+3}}= 1

Cross multiply ,

\sf\implies x - 9 =\sqrt{ x +3}

Squaring both sides ,

\sf\implies (x - 9)^2 = x + 3

Simplify the whole square ,

\sf\implies x^2+9^2-2.9.x = x +3 \\

\sf\implies x^2+81 - 18x = x -3

Add 3 and subtract x on both sides ,

\sf\implies x^2 -18x-x +81-3=0

Simplify ,

\sf\implies x^2 -19x +78=0

Split the middle term of the quadratic equation,

\sf\implies x^2-13x-6x+78=0

Take out common ,

\sf\implies x( x -13)-6(x-13)=0

Take out ( x -13 ) as common ,

\sf\implies ( x -13)(x-6)=0

Equate both factors to 0 ,

\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 13,6}}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>or </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
