Answer:

A.  1.5a - 5, where 'a' is the number of apples used by Martin

B.  Martin could not have used 10 apples, because that would mean Omar used none.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of apples that Martin used.  Since Omar used '5 fewer than half as many as Martin':

0.5a - 5  = the number of apples used by Omar

A.  The total of all the apples:

a + 0.5a - 5  = 1.5a - 5

B.  If Martin used 10 apples:  

a = 10

0.5(10) - 5 = 0, which means Omar would have used no apples to make applesauce

Answer:

A)An expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)Martin could not have 10 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of apples used by Martin

We are given that Omar used 5 fewer than half as many apple as Martin used.

No. of apples used by Omar = \frac{1}{2}x-5

Total apples used by both =x+\frac{1}{2}x-5=\frac{3}{2}x-5

A ) So, an expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)  Could Martin have used 10 apples

It Martin used 10 apples

So, x = 10

So, No. of apples used by Omar =\frac{1}{2}(10)-5=0

So, No. of apples used by Omar is 0 which is not possible since we are given that Omar used apples to make sauce

So, Martin could not have 10 apples

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Rate of interest r = 2.83 % (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested p = $2,600

Amount get A = $4,300

Number of year n = 18

Find:

Rate of interest r

Computation:

A = p(1+r)ⁿ

4,300 = 2,600(1+r)¹⁸

(1+r)¹⁸ = 1.653846

Rate of interest r = 2.83 % (Approx.)
