The answer would be B) x = 4.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

3 = 4.5x - 9 - 1.5x

3 = 3x - 9

3 + 9 = 3x

12 = 3x

12/3 = x

4 = x

x = 4.

Simplify (3x2 − 2) (5x2 5x − 1).
Evgen [1.6K]
If you would like to simplify (3x^2 - 2) * (5x^2 + 5x - 1), you can calculate this using the following steps:

(3x^2 - 2) * (5x^2 + 5x - 1) = 3x^2 * 5x^2 + 3x^2 * 5x - 3x^2 * 1 - 2 * 5x^2 - 2 * 5x + 2 * 1 = 15x^4 + 15x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x^2 - 10x + 2 = 15x^4 + 15x^3 - 13x^2<span> - 10x + 2
</span>
The correct result would be 15x^4 + 15x^3 - 13x^2<span> - 10x + 2.</span>

At a grocery store, 7 apples and 2 oranges will cost $12.80. In addition, 6 apples and 3
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Equation 1: 7x + 2y = 12.8

Equation 2: 6x + 3y = 12

Cost of 1 apple: $1.60

Cost of 1 orange: $0.80

Cost of 1 orange: $Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the elimination method to solve this

Multiply equation 1 by 3

(7x + 2y = 12.8) x 3 = 21x + 6y = 38.4

Multiply equation 2 by -2

(6x + 3y = 12) x -2 = -12x - 6y = -24

The x terms will cancel each other out

21x + 6y = 38.4

-12x - 6y = -24

9x = 14.4

Divide by sides by 9 to isolate the x variable

9x/9 = 14.4/9

x = 1.6

This means an apple costs $1.60

Plug the new x into one of the original equations to find y; we'll use equation 1

7(1.6) + 2y = 12.8

11.2 + 2y = 12.8

Subtract 11.2 from both sides

11.2 + 2y = 12.8

- 11.2        - 11.2

2y = 1.6

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 1.6/2

y = 0.8

This means an orange costs $0.80
