3x-\ pineapple\\
2x-\ mango\\\\
after\ selling\ 144\ pineapple:\\
3y-\ pineapple\\
5y-\ mango\\\\
3x-144=3y\ \ | add\ 144\\
2x=5y\\\\
3x=3y+144\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
2x=5y\\\\
x=y+48\\2x=5y\\\\
2(y+48)=5y\\
2y+96=5y\ \ \ | subtract\ 2y\\
96=3y\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
32=y\\
x=32+48=80\\\\
There\ were\ 240\ pineapple\ muffins.

How would I solve this equation?
Assoli18 [71]
2(7/2)^x = 49/2

Divide both sides by 2:

(7/2)^x = 49/4

I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:

(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2

The only way for this to be true is if x = 2.  Thus, we are done.

6 inches of yarn make 1 bracelet.

5 feet of yarn make how many bracelets?

1 foot = 12 inches
5 feet = 12 * 5 inches = 60 inches

60 inches of yarn make x bracelets

6/1 = 60/x

Cross multiply

6x = 60

x = 10

60 inches yarn make 10 bracelets.
