Answer:

-75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            x

Simplify   ——

           -5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  x    

 —— -  15  = 0

 -5    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  -5  as the denominator :

         15     15 • -5

   15 =  ——  =  ———————

         1        -5  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • -1 - (15 • 5)     -x - 75

—————————————————  =  ———————

        5                5  

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 75  =   -1 • (x + 75)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 -x - 75

 ———————  = 0

    5  

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -x-75

 ————— • 5 = 0 • 5

   5  

Now, on the left hand side, the  5  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -x-75  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    -x-75 = 0

Add  75  to both sides of the equation :

                     -x = 75

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -75

One solution was found :

                  x = -75

Answer:

  • $9
  • Option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations need to match the problem statements. If we let C and S represent the costs of Cherry and Sweet potato pies, respectively, then the revenue from each sale can be expressed as an equation.

  1 cherry and 7 sweet potato for $114   ⇒   C +7S = 114

  14 sweet potato and 11 cherry for $309   ⇒   11C +14S = 309

Note that we have used C and S in the second equation in the same order as they appeared in the first equation, even though the problem statement has that order reversed. This facilitates solving the equations using elimination or Cramer's rule.

These equations match Option 4.

__

The cost of a cherry pie can be found by eliminating S from the equations. We can do that by subtracting twice the first equation from the second:

  (11C +14S) -2(C +7S) = (309) -2(114)

  9C = 81 . . . . . simplify

  C = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 9

The cost of each cherry pie is $9.

Static and Reasoning:
Serggg [28]

Based on the data recorded by Isabella, it can be concluded the cube is rather fair.

<h3>How many times did Isabella get each number?</h3>

Based on the data, here are the results:

  • Getting a 1: 6 times
  • Getting a 2: 5 times
  • Getting a 3: 7 times
  • Getting a 4: 5 times
  • Getting a 5: 6 times
  • Getting a 6: 7 times

This implies, in total Isabella got the same number between five and seven times. For example, the number 2 was obtained 5 times, but the number 3 was obtained 7 times.

<h3>What can be concluded based on the results?</h3>

Even though Isabella did not get the same number of times each number, the dice is rather fair because by rolling the dice thirty six times you will obtain the same number at least five times.

Moreover, there is not a big difference in the number of times you obtain each number.
