Answer:
the answer is A. 0.48 $
Step-by-step explanation:
the price of ounce of the watermelon is :
Note:xy means x times y and x(y) means the same thing
so
first we get rid of square root then
make the equation equal to zero becaues if
xy=0 then x or/and y=0
squareroot(y-1)+3=y
isolate the squareroot
subtrac 3 from boht sides
squareroot(y-1)=y-3
square both sides (since they are equal, you should be able to square both sides and still make it true)
(squareroot(y-1))^2=(y-3)^2
(y-1)=(y-3)(y-3)
y-1=y^2-6y+9
subtrac y from both sides
-1=y^2-7y+9
add 1 to both sides
0=y^2-7y+10
find what two number multiply to make 10 and add to get -7
the answer is -2 and -5
0=(y-5)(y-2)
therfore
y-5=0
and/or
y-2=0
therefor
y=5 or/and 2 might work
let's try out 2
square root(2-1)+3=2
square root(1)+3=2
1+3=2
false
so 2 doesn't work
let's try 5
squareroot(5-1)+3=5
squareroot(4)+3=5
2+3=5
5=5
true
y=5
To answer this we will add, but before we add we will change 4/5 in to a decimal. to change ANY fraction into a decimal we have to divide the numerator by the denominator. lets do it:-
4/5
4 ÷ 5 = 0.8
Now lets substitute 0.8 for 4/5 and then add.
4/5 + 0.05
0.8 + 0.05 = 0.85
CHECK OUR WORK:-
0.85 - 0.8 = 0.05
We were RIGHT!!
So, the decimal 0.85 is equivalent to 4/5 + 0.05.
Hope I helped ya!! xD
It is negative.
When you subtract a negative a positive number from a negative number, the result is positive. The equation can be rewritten as -8.8-(+3.4).
