How to solve 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7

1 answer:

7 0

So first do 3(x+1) which is 3x+3 because you have to multiply the outside number by the stuff in side the parentheses. Then you do the 5(x-2)+7 and it should be 5x-10+7 so now your equation should be 3x+3=5x-10+7 now subtract the 3x from the 5x and now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-10+7. Then you add the 10 and the 7 so now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-3 because it's a -10 and a positive 7 it would be -3. So then you have to add the -3( which now becomes positive to the other 3 in front of the = sign. So now your equation should look like this: 6=2x. Now divide by 2 to get x by its self and now your answer should be 3=x or x=3.

If three pears and four oranges cost $4.85 and three pears and ten oranges cost $8.75 what is the cost of a pear and an orange

marishachu [46]

Answer:

1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) 3P + 4O = 4.85

(2) 3P + 10O = 8.75 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)

3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85 Combine like terms

6O = 3.90 Divide each side by 6

O = $0.65 Substitute into Eqn (1)

3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85

3P + 2.60 = 4.85 Subtract 2.60 from each side

3P = 2.25 Divide each side by 3

P = $0.75

Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each
