We know that HJ + JK = HK

So lets substitute each part for their equation.

(2x + 5) + (3x - 7) = 18

Combine like terms

5x -2 = 18

Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)

1/2y+2/5=4 2/5 how do I solve this matter
Inessa [10]

Answer:

y =8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2y+2/5=4 2/5

Subtract 2/5 from each side

1/2y+2/5-2/5=4 2/5-2/5

1/2 y = 4

Multiply each side by 2

1/2y *2 = 4*2

y = 8

You’re trying to find the better buy so you want to find out how much you’re paying per unit (in this case kg)

So you divide the price by the unit (kg)

And find the better buy by looking at which price is cheapest.

Your answer is the 7.48 kg bag


Hope this helps and good luck!!

Which of the following choices translates the sentence “the difference of three times a number and 20 is 13”?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

3x - 20 = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The word is signals the equal sign.

The difference of three times a number and 20 = 13

2. The word difference signals subtraction.

3. The phrase a number sigals that the number is unknown, so a variable should be used. In this case, I'll use x.

4. Three times that number = 3x.

The difference = subtraction.

3x-20=13

Arrange these numbers in increasing order: 216,000,000, 2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 3.1 × 10 to the 7th power, 310,000
ziro4ka [17]
<span>216,000,000
</span><span>2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power = 2.2 * 10^3 = 2,200
</span>3.1 × 10 to the 7th power = 3.1 * 10^7 = 31,000,000
<span>310,000

Increasing order:
</span>2,200 , 310,000 , 216,000,000 , 31,000,000

So increasing order with original numbers:
2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 310,000, <span>216,000,000,  3.1 × 10 to the 7th power</span>
