Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange
a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple
</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span>
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
6 = 1 + -2n + 5
Reorder the terms:
6 = 1 + 5 + -2n
Combine like terms: 1 + 5 = 6
6 = 6 + -2n
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 = 6 + -6 + -2n
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 = 6 + -6 + -2n
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 = 0 + -2n
0 = -2n
Solving
0 = -2n
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2n' to each side of the equation.
0 + 2n = -2n + 2n
Remove the zero:
2n = -2n + 2n
Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0
2n = 0
Divide each side by '2'.
n = 0
Simplifying
n = 0
