Answer:

$B = \frac{1}{2}A$

$A = 2B$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent apple with A and Banana with B

Required

Determine the relationship between A and B

From the question, we understand that:

B costs half as much as A

This can be represented as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * A$

$B = \frac{1}{2}A$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2*B = \frac{1}{2}A*2$

$2B = A$

$A = 2B$

Answer: 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of months that it will take him to reach his goal be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, this can be formed into an equation as:

8 + 4x = 52

4x = 52 - 8

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

It will take 11 months to reach the goal

If f(X+4) =3x+4 , then find the value of f(4) <br>please explain it clearly .

Paul [167]

$\\ \sf\longmapsto f(x+4)=3x+4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto f(x)=3x+4-4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto f(x)=3x$

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto f(4)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(4)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12$
