Answer:

15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question

It says 1/2 crates of apple are used for every 3/4 crates of oranges

For 5/2 crates of apple, x crates of oranges will be needed.

To get x, we simply multiply 1/2 by x and equate it to 3/4 multiplied by 5/2

This means: 0.5x = 0.75 × 2.5

x = ( 0.75 × 2.5 ) ÷ 0.5 = 3.75

Hence for 5/2 crates for apple, she will need 15/4 crates of oranges.

Solve for x; y=mx+b I can find x by_______________ on both sides of the equation PLZ Show your Work Thank You
amid [387]

Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.
