1/5k + 15 factor out the coefficient!

1 answer:

3 0

1/5k+ 15
= 1/5k+ 15* (5/5) (because 5/5= 1)
= 1/5k+ (15*5)/ 5
= 1/5k+ 75/5
= 1/5k+ 75* (1/5)
= 1/5(k+ 75) (distributive property)

The final answer is 1/5(k+ 75).

Two grapefruits and three oranges cost $1.95. Three grapefruits and two oranges cost $2.05.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

one orange costs $0.35 and one grapefruit costs $0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

let grapefruits be g , let oranges be o

so first equation:

→2g + 3o = $1.95

→g = ($1.95 - 3o)/2

so second equation:

→ 3g + 2o = $2.05

→ g = ($2.05 - 2o)/3

Solving simultaneously:

→ ($2.05 - 2o)/3 = ($1.95 - 3o)/2

→ 2($2.05 - 2o) = 3($1.95 - 3o)

→ 4.1 - 4o = 5.85 - 9o

→ - 4o + 9o = 5.85 - 4.1

→ 5o = 1.75

→ o = $0.35

Therefore one orange costs $0.35

Then one grapefruit costs g → ($1.95 - 3o)/2

→ g = ($1.95 - 3(0.35))/2

→ g = 0.45

Therefore one grapefruit costs $0.45

Nicole runs a farm stand that sells bananas and peaches. Each pound of bananas sells for $2 and each pound of peaches sells for

stepan [7]

Answer:

The required system of equations is:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

x = y + 3

where x is the number of pounds of bananas and y is the number of pounds of peaches

Explanation:

1- Defining the variables:

Assume that the number of pounds of bananas sold is x

Assume that the number of pounds of peaches sold is y

2- Setting the system of equations:

We are given that:

i. Each pound of bananas sells for $2

Money gained from selling x pounds of bananas is 2x

ii. Each pound of peach sells for $3.23

Money gained from selling y pounds of peaches is 3.25y

iii. Nicole made $231.75 in total. This means that:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75 .................> equation I

iv. Nicole sold 3 more pounds of bananas than pounds of peaches. This

means that:

pounds of bananas = pounds of peaches + 3

x = y + 3 ..................> equation II

3- Solving the equations (if required):

In equation II, we have: x = y + 3

Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for y as follows:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

2(y+3) + 3.25y = 231.75

2y + 6 + 3.25y = 231.75

5.25y = 231.75 - 6

5.25y = 225.75

y = 43

Substitute with y in equation II to get x:

x = y + 3

x = 43 + 3 = 46

Based on the above:

Number of pounds of bananas = x = 46 pounds

Number of pounds of peaches = y = 43 pounds

Hope this helps :)

In 88 minutes, he uses 132 balloons to make 22 identical balloon sculptures. How many minutes does it take to make one balloon s

Temka [501]

Answer:

a) How many minutes does it take to make one balloon sculpture?

= 4 minutes

b) How many balloons are used in one sculpture?

= 6 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

In 88 minutes, he uses 132 balloons to make 22 identical balloon sculptures.

a) How many minutes does it take to make one balloon sculpture?

22 identical balloon sculptures = 88 minutes

1 balloon sculpture = x

x = 88 minutes/22

x = 4 minutes

b) How many balloons are used in one sculpture?

22 balloon sculptures = 132 balloons

1 balloon sculpture = x

Cross Multiply =

22x = 132 balloons

x = 132 balloons/22

x = 6 balloons
