Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

watermelon=w

cantaloupe=c

3w+2c=32    x3    9w+6c=96

4w+3c=44     x2   8w+6c=88

(9w+6c) - (8w+6c) =

96-88=

c=8

canteloupe is 8 pounds

3w+2(8)=32

3w+16=32

3w=16

w=5 1/3 pounds

watermelon is 5 1/3 pounds

2(5 1/3)+8=

10 2/3+8=

18 2/3 pounds

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 1/2x + 2(1+x) = 29?
erica [24]

Answer:

<h2>x = 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x  +  \frac{1}{2} x + 2(1 + x) = 29

Multiply through by 2

That's

4x + x + 4(1 + x) = 58

<u>Expand</u>

That's

5x + 4 + 4x = 58

9x = 58 - 4

9x = 54

Divide both sides by 9

That's

\frac{9x}{9}  =  \frac{54}{9}

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 6</h3>

Hope this helps you

1+4=5 2+5=12 3+6=24 5+8=? What's the answer
Vilka [71]

I have seen this problem before, except it was worded differently. Is this the problem you wished to express?

1+4=5, 2+5=12, 3+6=21, 8+11=?                                                                          

If so, then your answer is to simply add the last answer to the next problem. If not, then I am afraid I cannot help you.

1+4=5

5+2+5=12

12+3+6=21

21+8+11=40
