Let x = cost of mango
y = c of apples
<span>8x+3y=18.
3x+5y=14.5 </span>

<span> </span>
<span>24x+9y=54
24x+40y=116
multiplying them with 3 and 8 resectively. </span>
<span>subtract one from the other we get </span>
<span>40y-9y=116-54 </span>
<span>31y=62 </span>
<span>y=2.
cost of apple=2$ per apple
</span><span>8x+3y=18,
8x+3(2)=18.
8x=12. x=12/8=1.5 </span>
<span>cost of mango i= 1.5 $ per mango
hope this helps</span>

-4/9x=16/27 alguien que me ayude

<h3>Answer</h3>

First multiply everything by 27

$- \frac{4}{9} x = \frac{16}{27} = \\ 27 \times ( - \frac{4 }{9}x) = 27 \times \frac{16}{27}$

Then approximate the terms with 27 if it's possible (27 and 9) (27 and 27)

$3 \times ( - \frac{4}{1} ) = 16$

So now multiply again

$3 \times ( - 4) = - 12$

And you have

$- 12x = 16$

$x = - \frac{16}{12} = - \frac{4}{3}$

You're welcome if it's right

Eddie built the ramp shown to train his puppy to do tricks. What is the surface area of the ramp. The dimensions are 20,20,20,23

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

3775 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the ramp :

Area of rectangle = 20 * 23 = 460 in²

Area of rectangle = 20 * 23 = 460 in²

Area of rectangle = 25 * 23 = 575 in²

Bottom rectangle = 60 * 23 = 1380 in²

For the trapezium: (front and rear)

1/2 (base 1 + base 2) * height

Base total = 20+ 20+ 20= 60

1/2(60)*15 = 450 in²

Total surface Area :

(460 + 460 + 575 + 1380 + 450 + 450) in² = 3775 in²
