\huge\boxed{c=3.5a}

First, we need to find how much a single pound of apples costs.

Do this by dividing.

\frac{\$7}{2\ \text{lbs.}}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{\$(7\div 2)}{(2\div 2)\ \text{lbs.}} = \frac{\boxed{\$3.50}}{1\ \text{lb.}}

Now, write an equation.

\large\boxed{c=3.5a}

This represents that the cost equals 3.5 times the number of apples.

Answer:

3.5a=c

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this in two ways:

Way ONE:

In this scenario:

a=2

c=7

If you plug those numbers into the equation, you get:

3.5*2=7

This statement is correct.

Way TWO:

$7/2=3.50. This is the cost PER POUND OF APPLE.

That means:

<u>Every pound of apple, a, times 3.50, will give you your cost.</u> This is basically just reversing 7/2=3.50, our first statement.

In equation form, the underlined statement would look like this:

a*3.5=7, or our answer:

3.5a=7

If the volume of the cone is 120 cm", what is the volume of the cylinder?
lisabon 2012 [21]
360in^3

The equation of the cone is just the cylinder equation divided by 3, so I order to get the volume of the cylinder you do the opposite: multiply by 3!

So 120 x 3 = 360 :)

What is the answer for |x|=9
Maru [420]

The absolute value |x| returns the "positive version" of a number.

In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.

So, if we want |x|=9, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.

This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.

In formula, we have

|x|=9 \iff x=\pm 9

because

|9|=9,\quad |-9|=9
