We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
So since we know what x is, we can substitute it into the original equation for x like so to solve for y...
(2y - 8) + 5y - 10 = 0
2y - 8 + 5y = 10
2y + 5y = 18
7y = 18
y = 18/7 (or about 2.57)
So now we know what x is, we can sub it into the below equation to solve for x...
x = 2(18/7) - 8
x = 36/14 - 8 (or about -5.43)
Answer:
37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the triangle is enlarged by a factor of 2.5 so you multiply all of the numbers in XYZ by 2.5 then add them
15+10+12.5=37.5 units
No x does NOT equal 16. you would substitute x for 16 which gives you 16+12. That equals 28 not 30. The correct answer is x=18
