First, you would multiply 749 by .15 to get 112.35.

Second, you would subtract 749 by 112.35 to get 636.65

Your answer is $636.65.

Danielle and Emilia brought apples, bananas, and oranges to a fruit sale.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

26 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

bananas, b= $0.50

oranges, o= $0.75

apples, a = $0.75

Total fruit sold = 50

Total Earned = $33.50

b + o + a = 50 Because the total number of all 3 fruits sold is 50

.5b + .75o + .75a = $33.50 The number of each fruit, multiplied by the price of each fruit, and added together is $33.50

They sold twice as many bananas than oranges.

If o is oranges, then 2o = b because there are twice as many bananas so:

b + o + a = 50

2o + o + a = 50

3o + a = 50

Now we can solve.

3o + a = 50

a = 50 - 3o

.5b + .75o + .75a = $33.50

.5(2o) + .75o + .75a = $33.50

o + .75o + .75a = $33.50

1.75o + .75a = $33.50

Two equations and 2 unknowns.

a = 50 - 3o

1.75o + .75a = $33.50 Plug in a to solve for o.

1.75o + .75(50 - 3o) = $33.50

1.75o + .75*50 - .75*3o = $33.50

1.75o + 37.5 - 2.25o = $33.50 Combine like terms

1.75o - 2.25o +37.5 = $33.50

-.5o + 37.5 = 33.5 Add .5o to each side so it cancels on the left.

37.5 = 33.5 + .5o Subtract 33.5 from each side

37.5 -33.5 = .5o

4 = .5o Divide each side by .5

4/.5 = o

8 = o

Now plug into a = 50 - 3o

a = 50 - 3(8)

a = 50 - 24

a = 26

So even though we know they sold 26 apples, let's finish solving to check our work.

b + o + a = 50

b + 8 + 26 = 50

b + 34 = 50

b = 50 - 34

b = 16

b = 2o

b = 2 (8)

b = 16 Which works! Now the last step of checking our work:

.5b + .75o + .75a = $33.50

.5(16) + .75(8) + .75(26) = $33.50

8 + 6 + 19.5 = $33.50

14 + 19.5 = $33.50

33.5 = $33.50 Yes! It works too!

bananas = 16

oranges = 8

apples = 26

A rectangle has a length of 4x plus 5 and a width of 8x minus 4. Which expression shows the perimeter of that rectangle? A: 4x +

mezya [45]

Answer: The answer is (D) $24x+2.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there is a rectangle, where length of the rectangle is given by

$\ell=4x+5,$

and width of the rectangle is given by

$b=8x-4.$

We are to find the perimeter of the rectangle. To do so, we need to add two times length with two times breadth of the rectangle.

Therefore, perimeter is given by

$p=2\ell+2b=2\times(4x+5)+2\times(8x-1)=8x+10+16x-8=24x+2.$

Thus, the correct option is (D).

I need help on these question ASAP!!!! This is Urgent

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

In two or more complete sentences, describe the steps necessary in completing the following sum. In your final answer, include t

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

First, you would need to find a common denominator for the two, in this case it would be 6 which would make the equation 3/6 + 4/6=7/6. Then in order to make the answer a mixed number you would need to divide the numerator into the demonanator, write down the whole number answer (6 will go into 7 ONE time) then write down the "leftovers". The final answer would be 1 1/6

(i hope this helps! im not the best at explaining)
