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.

I think u do the ones in the parenthesis first bc of PEMDAS since it's both negative it become positive and u can cross out both the 2's and that leaves u with 1/7 and then u just times 1/7 with 8 and then u get 8/7

Solve the following inequality<br> 9x−2&gt;43
MrRissso [65]

Answer: x > 5

Explanation: First we want to look at our variable and ask ourselves what's happening to it. Since 2 is being subtracted from 9x, we always undo addition and subtraction first so we add 2 to both sides.

That gives us 9x > 45.

Now we need to undo multiplication and division. Since 9 is being multiplied by <em>x</em>, to get <em>x</em> by itself, we need to divide by 9 on the left side of the inequality. If we divide by 9 on the left side, we must also divide by 9 on the right side.

This leaves us with <em>x > 5</em> which is the solution to this inequality.
