In this problem, we have to find the factor which will make (1 / 10) equal to (2 / 5). Therefore we can write it as:

x (1 / 10) = 2 / 5

where x is the number of people who ate the blueberries

x = (2 / 5) / (1 / 10)

x = 4

 

<span>Therefore 4 people ate the blueberries.</span>

The question is about the number of people who ate blueberries. The sum of their consumption must equal to 2/5. Since each consumption is 1/10, the equation is written as

2/5 = (1/10)x
where x is the number of people who ate the blueberries
Cross-multiplying,
20 = 5x
x = 20/5 = 4

<em>Thus, there were 4 people who ate the blueberries.</em>

Mark and peter went to an arcade where the machines took tokens. Marilk played 9 games of ping pong and 5 games of pinball, usin
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, each game of ping pong requires x number of tokens and each game of pinball requires y number of tokens.

So, from the given conditions we can write

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

9x + 5(7 - 3x) = 29

⇒ 35 - 6x = 29

⇒ 6x = 6

⇒ x = 1 token.

Now, putting x = 1 in equation (2) we get,

3 + y = 7

⇒ y = 4 tokens.

So, each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens. (Answer)

Can someone explain how to even do this, I literally just don't get it ​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

It is an isosceles triangle (side FE = FG)

Therefore the base angles are equal.

75 degrees = 2x degrees

x = 75 / 2 = 37.5 degrees

3(x + 4) = 27 what is x
Alla [95]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple equation if you look at it right and don't get scared by the "x."

All we need to do is figure out what times 3 = 27. We can do this easily by diving 27 by 3.

27 ÷ 3 = 9

Since our "equation" is 3(x + 4) = 27 we know whatever is in the parenthesis () has to equal to 9. We already get 4 so:

5 + 4 = 9.

3 times 9 = 27.

5 is your answer.

<u>Hope this helps and have a nice day!</u>

PS if you could mark brainliest that'd be great! I'm very close the "expert" rank. Haha, sorry I usually don't ask.
