Set variables for the quantities we want to find. Let x = number of applesLet y = number of oranges Next, we use these variables to write equations that describes the whole story. Since the total price is $7.75 and each type of fruit has their own price, we can say 0.40x + 0.35y = 7.55 The other equation will represent the total number of fruits bought all together, as Mark mentioned. Once you have those equations, you solve the system using substitution and elimination methods to solve for the variables x and y.

7.74 ÷ 0.36= 21.5 pound

Answer:

6cm is the missing length

Step-by-step explanation:

See the 10cm and the 4cm?

If you look at in a way if you added 6 more centimeters to the 4cm it would be 10, leaving 6cm as the missing length.

Helppp find the value of y lamooooo

Answer:

4x-13 = 2x+9 ( i think it was exterior angle property i dont remember but its true)

so, solving that eq,

4x-2x = 9+13 (grouping variables and constants)

2x=22

x=11

also, 2x+9 and 3y+2 are on a transversal, and are supplementary angles (add up to 180°)

so, solving for x in 2x+9,

2(11)+9 = 22+9 = 31°

now, 31 + 3y+2 = 180

3y = 180 - 33

y = 147/3 = 49

(hoping you understood the calculations :)

What is the 38th term of 459,450,441,..

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The 38th term of 459,450,441,.. will be:

$a_{13}=351$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$459,450,441,..$

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

$450-459=-9,\:\quad \:441-450=-9$

so

$d=-9$

The first element of the sequence is

$a_1=459$

so the nth term will be

$a_n=-9\left(n-1\right)+459$

$a_n=-9n+468$

Putting n=38 to find the 38th term

$a_n=-9n+468$

$a_{13}=-9\left(13\right)+468$

$a_{13}=-117+468$

$a_{13}=351$

Therefore, the 38th term of 459,450,441,.. will be:

$a_{13}=351$

Answer:

C(h(x)=14x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=44x+8-(30x+15)

=44x+8-30x-15

=44x-30x+8-15

=14x-7
