\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

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 44 yd^2 Find the dimensions of the
vovangra [49]

Answer:

width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:

w(2w-3) = 44

2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form

(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation

w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.

The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.

50 POINTS!!! What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (5, −4) and is parallel to the line whose equation is
k0ka [10]

Answer:A quick way to solve this problem involves copying the given equation:

2x + 5y = 10

dropping the final 10, and

substituting the given x and y values:  (5, -4).  

Then:

2(5) + 5(-4) = C           C = 10-20 = -10

Thus, the equation of this new, parallel line is 2x + 5y = -10.

Step-by-step explanation:

because that's
