I will explain step by step how to solve for x

Remove the parenthesis using distributive property
1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)
1.5(x) + 1.5(4) = 4.5(x) - 4.5(2)
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9

Combining like-terms. Move the terms whose variable x to the left side, and move constants to the right side. Plus sign will become substract sign after being moved.
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x - 4.5x = -9 - 6
-3x = -12

Move -3 to the right side to solve for x. Multiplication becomes division after being moved to the other side
-3x = -12
x = -12/-3
x = 4

The value of x is 4

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

An apple costs $2 and a banana costs $1.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of 1 apple and y = cost of 1 banana. So:-

2x + y = 5

2x + 3y = 7

Subtract the first equation from the second. We get:-

2y = 2

y = 1

and since 2x + y = 5,  2 x + 1 = 5 and

x = $2.

Please help!! Worth 28 points if you can solve it correctly and proof on paper

8p + 3q - 18 when p = 1/2 and q = 7

You are given that p is equal to 1/2 and q is equal to 7, so plug these values into p and q in the expression to find your answer.

Rewrite your expression to include the values of p and q plugged in. Your expression should look like:

8(1/2) + 3(7) - 18

According to PEMDAS, multiplication should be solved first before doing subtraction, so multiply 8 by 1/2 and 3 by 7. Rewrite your expression; your expression should look like this:

4 + 21 - 18

According to PEMDAS, addition and subtraction should be solved from left to right; they are not prioritized. So solve the expression from left to right and then you will have your answer.

4 + 21 = 25

25 - 18 = 7

Your answer is 7.

Simplify each expression.<br> 3+-7 -2<br> 4-16 -2(2)
ioda

"+-" should always be changed to "-".

You have 3 - 7 - 2.  You may evaluate this from left to right, obtaining -4 -2, or -6.

4 - 16 -2(2) involves multiplication, which must be carried out before addition or subtraction.  Thus, 4 - 16 - 4.  Working from left to right, we get -12 - 4 = -16

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

$7,925.53

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll have to use the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

A = final amount (?)

P = starting amount (5700)

r = rate

n = times applied (12 since its monthly and there 12 months in a year)

x = years (12)

A = 5700(1 + 0.0275/12)¹⁴⁴

A = 7925.525498629932
