-5x - 5 = 3x + 19

---Move the x's to one side

-5x - 3x - 5 = 3x - 3x + 19

-8x - 5 = 19

---Isolate the -8x by removing the -5 from the left side

-8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5

-8x = 24

---Divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself

x = -3

Hope this helps!

A farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 2 5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. Ho
Ivenika [448]

Answer: 5.22kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the market. Of the pears and apples sold, 2/5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. To calculate the kilograms of apple sold goes thus:

Total kilograms sold = 8.7kg

Fraction of pears weight = 2/5

Pears kilograms sold = 2/5 × 8.7

= 0.4 × 8.7

= 3.48kg

Since the kilograms of pears sold is , 3.48kg, to get the kilograms of apple sold, we subtract 3.48kg from 8.7kg. This will be:

= 8.7kg - 3.48kg

= 5.22kg

I’m stuck please help ? Due tomorrow

Here are two ways of doing it.

************************************************************

1) The current price is 100% of the price. The price went down by 6%, so since 100% - 6% = 94%, the new price is 94% of the original price.

94% * 175 = 0.94 * 175 = 164.50

The new price is 164.50

*******************************************************

2) The discount is 6% of 175, so first, we find the discount.

6% of 175 = 0.06 * 175 = 10.5

Now we subtract the amount of the discount from the original price.

175 - 10.50 = 164.50

The new price is 164.50

**********************************************************

As you can see, both methods give you the same answer, 164.50

Find the area on the shaded region
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

83.2 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we're going to find the area of the bigger triangle (the shaded and unshaded parts together) and then the area of the smaller triangle (the unshaded part) and then subtract that from the area of the bigger triangle. We're going to use the equation: Area=1/2 x base x height. So the base of the big triangle is 16, and the height is (10.4+8.6 = 19). Put into the equation this looks like this: Area=1/2 x 16 x 19, so by multiplying we find that the area is 152 cm^2. Next we find the small triangle's area, Area=1/2 x 16 x 8.6, so the area is 68.8. Then to find the area of the shaded part, we subtract the unshaded area  (68.8) from the whole area (152), 152-68.8=83.2.
