From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75

Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88

so we form an equation:

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

3x + 2.25 = 5.88

3x = 5.88 - 2.25

3x = 3.63

x = 3.63 / 3

x = 1.21

Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars

Answer:

1.21=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Do

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

then 3x + 2.25 = 5.88

then 3x = 5.88 - 2.25

to 3x = 3.63

and last of allx = 3.63 / 3

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
pentagon [3]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of any function (of x) can be shifted horizontally by a number h by replacing every x in the function with x - h. And, if we want to shift the graph vertically, we simply add the number we want to shift by (which I'll call k) to every output of the function.

Functionally, if we have any function f(x)

We can shift it horizontally by h units and vertically by k units by creating a function g(x) = f(x - h) + k.

Notice that in this case, g(x) = f(x - (-2)) - 4. So the graph of f(x) is shifted 2 units to the left, and 4 units down.

Or if this is too abstract of an explanation, then notice

\sqrt[3]{x + 2}  - 4 looks similar to \sqrt[3]{x - h}  - k. Specifically, if h = -2 and k = -4 (the graph is shifted two units left and 4 units down), then the function becomes equivalent to g(x)

If f(x) = g(x) + 4, find g(x) for f(x) = 3x + 2<br> Can someone please help?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 23 15 03

f(x) = g(x) + 4    find g(x) for f(x) = 3x + 2

sub f(x) = 3x + 2  into f(x) = g(x) +4

3x + 2 = g(x) + 4

3x + 2 - 4 = g(x) + 4 - 4

3x  - 2  = g(x)

Solve the simultaneous equations 2x+2y=15
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

We need to find a relationship between the equations.

Let's solve for one variable.

2x + 2y = 15

2y = 15 - 2x

We know what 2y is in relation to x. Now we can solve.

2x + 15-2x = 15

15 = 15

Unless there are more equations, this is your answer. For it to be simultaneous you need more than one equation.

12345 what is the answer if you multiply 1x2x3x4x5 and do the same with subtraction, addition and devision, in that order. Then
Alexandra [31]

Well, we just need to perform the operations:

  • Multiplication: 1\cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5 = 120
  • Subtraction: 1-2-3-4-5 = -13
  • Addition: 1+2+3+4+5 = 15
  • Division: 1 \div 2 \div 3 \div 4 \div 5 = \frac{1}{120}

So, if you add all the numbers together you get

120-13+15+\dfrac{1}{120} = 122 + \dfrac{1}{120}

Or, if you prefer,

\dfrac{1681}{120}
