Since the price of the cantaloupes is unknown, it will have to represented by a variable. Let's use x.
If Jackson starts with $25 and buys 5 cantaloupes of an unknown price, this subtracts 5 times the amount of 1 cantaloupe (which is x) from that $25.
This is shown as 25 - 5x.
After spending that money, he has $2.50 left over.
This means 25 - 5x = 2.50.
Now you just need to solve this by first isolating the variable.
First, subtract 25 from both sides.
25 - 5x - 25 = -5x
2.50 - 25 = -22.5
Then, divide both sides by -5. It's -5 since 5 is the coefficient and it's negative, so -5.
-5x / -5 = x
-22.5 / -5 = 4.5
This means x = 4.5.
And if x is 4.5, then that means the cost of 1 cantaloupe is $4.50.

I just had a test on this lol perfect timing. Anyways the answer would be 3 times bigger bc the circumference of a circle with the radius of 3 is 6pi and the circumference of a circle with the radius of 1 is 2pi which makes the first circle 3 times bigger

The hours of daylight, y, in Utica in days x from January 1, 2013 can be modeled by the equation y = 2.89sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.
Pie

Answer:

9.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.

Required

Hours of sunlight on Feb 21, 2013

First, calculate the number of days from Jan 1, 2013 to Feb 21, 2013

days = 52

So:

x = 52

So, we have:

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145*52-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(0.754-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(-0.646) + 10.99.

y = 2.89*-0.6020 + 10.99.

y = -1.740 + 10.99.

y = 9.25

<em></em>y = 9.3<em> --- approximated</em>
