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

Find the difference (20m+3)-(7m-5)
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Simplifying

(20m + 3) + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(3 + 20m) + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (3 + 20m)

3 + 20m + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 20m + -1(-5 + 7m) = 0

3 + 20m + (-5 * -1 + 7m * -1) = 0

3 + 20m + (5 + -7m) = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 5 + 20m + -7m = 0

Combine like terms: 3 + 5 = 8

8 + 20m + -7m = 0

Combine like terms: 20m + -7m = 13m

8 + 13m = 0

Solving

8 + 13m = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 13m = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 13m = 0 + -8

13m = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8

13m = -8

Divide each side by '13'.

m = -0.6153846154

Simplifying

m = -0.6153846154Step-by-step explanation:

How can you tell if two equations for parallel lines or perpendicular lines. please explain?
kicyunya [14]
To find out if they are parallel we need to see if the gradient is the same, to do this we need to get y in terms of x:
assuming the first equation is x+y+7=0
y=-x-7
and
y=x-3
The gradient is the coefficient of x (the number infront of x)
For equation 1 the gradient is -1, and for number 2 it is 1, therefore they are not parallel.
However to check if they are perpendicular we need to see if their gradients multiply to equal -1.
-1*1=-1 therefore they are perpendicular
