A pound of oranges cost x dollar => A pound of pears cost x+3 dollar

We have: 8x+4(x+3)=30 => 12x=30-12=18 =>x=1.5

5 pounds of pears cost: 5(x+3)=5(1.5+3)=5*4.5= 22.5 (dollar)

What is the square root of 72 simplified
Ket [755]

Answer: 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 × 9 is 72.

8 can be simplied to 4 × 2.

And 4 can be simplified to 2 × 2.

So far there are three 2s and a 9.

9 can be simplified down to 3 × 3.

Theres a pair of 2s and a pair of 3s, so you multiply 2 × 3 and thats 6 so you put 6 on the outside of the radical. Theres one 2 leftover from all the simplifying so that goes inside the radical to give you 6√2

Tv originally cost $400 if the price of the TV increase by 15% what is the new price ​
Verizon [17]

Answer:

$460

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus, a product that normally costs $400 with a 15 percent discount will cost you $340.00, and you saved $60.00. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 15.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $400 as follows: $400 x .15 = $60.00 savings.
