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.

X + 2y = 7<br>x - y = 1<br><br>Solve for x and y?​
34kurt

Answer:

y=2

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

make x - y = 1 into x= y + 1

put that wherever x is in the other equation

so y + 1 + 2y =7. then combine like terms into 3y =6. then divide 6 by 3 so you get y = 2

then substitute 2 into the y in the equation x - y = 1 and you get x = 3

What is the answer to this equation |x−1|+5=2
barxatty [35]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the absolute value:

|x−1| + 5 = 2

Subtract 5 from both sides:

|x-1| = -3

Since an absolute value can never be equal to a negative number, there are no solutions.

MATH GRADE 8 15. a) and b)
Elden [556K]

Answer:   1300 cm³

a) Find the volume of the entire rectangle and subtract the volume of the missing section. Volume = L · w · h

Solid = Rectangle - Missing section  

        =  L · w · h    -   L · w · h  

        = 16 · 10 · 10 - 10 · 6 · 5

        =     1600     -     300

        =             1300

b) Find the volume of each section of the rectangle (base, left wing right wing) and add them. Volume = L · w · h

Solid =   Base       +   Left wing  +    Right wing  

        =  L · w · h    +     L · w · h   +     L · w · h

        = 16 · 10 · 5   +   5 · 10 · 5   +   5 · 10 · 5

        =     800       +     250        +      250

        =                        1300

The answer from (a) is the same as (b) \checkmark
