He has $11

5.5/.50=11

To check your answer,

11x.50=5.5

I'll use x as a variable for Gary's money.

x ≥ $11

Answer:

$ 2.75 or 275 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Amount of potatoes that Gary can buy = 5.5 pounds

Rate of potatoes per pound = 50 cents

We have to find

How much money Gary have= x = ?

As we know

Total Amount Spent on potatoes = (Rate of potatoes per pound) (Amount of potatoes that Gary can buy)

x = (50) (5.5) = 275 cents

We can convert this amount in dollars by dividing it with 100 as 1 dollar contain 100 cents.

x = 275/100 =  $ 2.75

So Gary has 275 cents or 2.75 dollars

Determine whether the two expressions are equivalent. Explain your reasoning.
dlinn [17]
Let us evaluate each pair of expressions one at a time.
8. (n²+4) - n² and 4n.
    (n²+4) - n² = n²+ 4 - n² = 4 which is not equal to 4n.
    NOT EQUIVALENT

9. 3x + 5 and  2(x + 3)
    2(x + 3) = 2x + 6  which is not equal to 3x + 5.
    NOT EQUIVALENT

10. 15 - 6x and  15(1 - 6x)
    15(1 - 6x) = 15 - 90x which is not equal to 15 - 6x
    NOT EQUVALENT

11. (y + y + 2 + y) + 3y and 6y + 2
    (y +y +2 + y) + 3y = y+y+y +2 + 3y = 3y + 2 + 3y = 6y + 2.
    It matches the other expression.
    EQUIVALENT

12. 8y - 3 + 10y and 3(6 - 1)
    8y - 3 + 10y = 8y + 10y - 3 = 18y - 3
    3(6 - 1) = 3(5) = 15
    The two expressions do not match.
    NOT EQUIVALENT.

Answer: Only the expressions in number 11 are equivalent.

HELP I DONT GET THIS AT ALL. ITS ABOUT INEQUALITIES EXPLANATION NEEDED
wel

Answer:

Since the slope of the line is (31/4 - 25/4) / (5/4 - 3/4) = 3 that means that for every 1 that x increases, y increases by 3 so an example could be 1 3/4 for x and 9 1/4 for y.

-the equations x-y=-14 and -x-y=14 what is the number of solutions? A.) no solutions B.) infinitely many solutions C.) one solut
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The answer is C one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=-14

-y=-x-14  bring x to the other side

y=x+14   divide everything by -1

-x-y=14

-y=x+14  bring x to the other side

y=-x-14  divide everything by -1
