Answer:

2.4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Alicia paid $1.32 for a bag of pinto beans. The beans cost $0.55 per lb. We are asked to find the weight of pinto beans bag.

To find the weight of pinto beans bag, we will divide amount paid for the bean bag by per pound of beans.

\text{Weight of pinto beans bag}=\frac{1.32}{0.55}

\text{Weight of pinto beans bag}=2.4

Therefore, the weight of pinto beans bag is 2.4 pounds.

The sum of two polynomials is -yz to the second power-3z to the second power-4y+4. If one of the polynomials is y-4yz to the sec

balu736 [363]

Answer:

- 5yz^2 - 3z^2 - 5y + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial is:

$-yz^2-3z^2-4y+4$ ( 1 )

this polynomial is the result of the sum of two polynomials, one of them given by

$y-4yz^2-3$ ( 2 )

if you find to know what is the other polynomial, you can take the difference between the polynomial (1) and (2). It is necessary to take the difference between simmilar terms, as follow:

- yz^2 - 3z^2 - 4y + 4

- (4yz^2 + y - 3 )

- yz^2 - 3z^2 - 4y + 4

- 4yz^2 - y + 3

- 5yz^2 - 3z^2 - 5y + 7

hence the other polynomial is - 5yz^2 - 3z^2 - 5y + 7

Solve 2(9-x) = 3 ( x +16 )

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(9−x)=3(x+16)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation by distribution

$2(9-x)=3(x+16)\\(2)(9)+(2)(-x)=(3)(x)+(3)(16)\\18+-2x=3x+48\\-2x+18=3x+48\\$

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

$-2x+18-3x=3x+48-3x\\-5x+18=48$

Step 3: Subtract 18 from both sides.

$-5x+18-18=48-18\\-5x=30$

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5x}{-5} =\frac{30}{-5} \\x=-6$
