Answer:

Total overripe fruit = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Assume the value of oranges

Let oranges be x

Oranges = x

Apples = 32 + x

Overripe oranges = 3/5 of oranges

= 3x/5

Overripe apples = 1/3 of apples

= 1/3 (32 + x)

Step 2: Find x (oranges)

Number of overripe apples and number or overripe oranges are equal.

3x/5 = 1/3 (32 + x)

3 (3x) = 5(32 + x)

9x = 160 + 5x

4x = 160

x = 40

Step 3: Find the total number of overripe fruit.

Total overripe fruit = Overripe apples + Overripe oranges

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + x) + 3x/5

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + 40) + 3(40)/5

Total overripe fruit = 24 + 24

Total overripe fruit = 48

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

C(g) = 10 + 15g

C'(g) = 80

The monthly charges of Company C for using 2 Gigabyte of data usage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell phone plan from Company C costs $10 per month, plus $15 per gigabyte for data used. The plan from Company D costs $80 per month, with unlimited data.

Now, the monthly cost in Company C for using g gigabyte of data will be

C(g) = 10 + 15g ........ (1)

Again, the monthly cost in Company D for using g gigabyte of data will be

C'(g) = 80 ......... (2)

Now, from equation (1), the statement C(2) = 10 + 15 × 2 = 40, means that monthly charges of Company C for using 2 Gigabyte of data usage. (Answer)

21. In 4 + In(4x - 15) = In(5x + 19)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

$x=-30;\quad \:I\ne \:0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$In\cdot \:4+In\left(4x-15\right)=In\left(5x+19\right)$

$\:4+In\left(4x-15\right):\quad -11nI+4nxI\\In\cdot \:4+In\left(4x-15\right)\\=4nI+nI\left(4x-15\right)\\\\\:In\left(4x-15\right):\quad 4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=In,\:b=4x,\:c=15\\=In\cdot \:4x-In\cdot \:15\\=4nxI-15nI\\=In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Simplify}\:In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI:\quad -11nI+4nxI\\In\cdot \:4+4nxI-15nI\\\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}\\=4nI-15nI+4nxI\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:4nI-15nI=-11nI\\=-11nI+4nxI\\$

$\mathrm{Expand\:}In\left(5x+19\right):\quad 5nxI+19nI\\In\left(5x+19\right)\\=nI\left(5x+19\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=In,\:b=5x,\:c=19\\=In\cdot \:5x+In\cdot \:19\\=5nxI+19nI\\\\-11nI+4nxI=5nxI+19nI\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}11nI\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-11nI+4nxI+11nI=5nxI+19nI+11nI\\Simplify\\4nxI=5nxI+30nI\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}5nxI\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\4nxI-5nxI=5nxI+30nI-5nxI\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\-nxI=30nI\\$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-nI;\quad \:I\ne \:0\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}=\frac{30nI}{-nI};\quad \:I\ne \:0\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}=\frac{30nI}{-nI}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-nxI}{-nI}:\quad x\\\frac{-nxI}{-nI}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{nxI}{nI}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:n\\=\frac{xI}{I}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:I\\=x\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{30nI}{-nI}:\quad -30\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:$

$\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:n\\=\frac{30I}{I}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:I\\=-30\\x=-30;\quad \:I\ne \:0$

On Sunday a library checked out 52books .if 24 of the books were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books checked out = 52

Number of fiction books checked out = 24

So, number of non fiction books = Total books - number of fiction books

Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24 = 28 books

Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24

Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get

The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6
