Let's translate each sentence into "Math".

Pineapple = p

Orange = x

is means equal

 

Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange:  p = 7x

Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x

 

Substitute  p = 7x  into the second equation:

7x = 870 + x

Subtract  x from both sides

6x = 870

divide by 6

x = 145

 

The orange weighs 145 grams.

The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.

The greater of two numbers is 5 more than the smaller. If the
xenn [34]

Answer:

First number = 4

Second number = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first number = x, the second number = x + 5.

The calculation can be expressed as follows:

x + 2(x + 5) = 22

First, expand the bracket 2(x + 5):

x + 2x + 10 = 22

Combine like terms:

3x + 10 = 22

Subtract 10 from both sides:

3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 4

First number = 4

Second number = 4 + 5 = 9

so 30<25 is false

Write the equation of a line in Slope Intercept Form that passes through (−2,3) and has a slope m=4.
Vladimir [108]

The slope is already given in the question so we can find the y-intercept.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

3 = 4(-2) + b

3 = -8 + b

3 + 8 = -8 + b + 8

11 = b

Now, we can write the equation.

y = 4x + 11

Best of Luck!
