You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Apricots is 8.75 per pound and is less expensive than almonds per pound (10.99). To find how much less expensive you subtract apricots from almonds. 10.99-8.75= 2.24.

Answer:

$x=\frac{3}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4},\:x=\frac{3}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify $\frac{-3}{x-2}$ by putting the negative sign on the outside. $\frac{2x}{x-1}-\frac{2x-5}{x^2-3x+2}=-\frac{3}{x-2}$

find the LCM of the denominators. It is (x-1)(x-2). Multiply by the LCM:

$\frac{2x}{x-1}\left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)-\frac{2x-5}{x^2-3x+2}\left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)=-\frac{3}{x-2}\left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)$

Simplify:

$2x\left(x-2\right)-\left(2x-5\right)=-3\left(x-1\right)$

solve: $x=\frac{3}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4},\:x=\frac{3}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$
