Since the price of the cantaloupes is unknown, it will have to represented by a variable. Let's use x.
If Jackson starts with $25 and buys 5 cantaloupes of an unknown price, this subtracts 5 times the amount of 1 cantaloupe (which is x) from that $25.
This is shown as 25 - 5x.
After spending that money, he has $2.50 left over.
This means 25 - 5x = 2.50.
Now you just need to solve this by first isolating the variable.
First, subtract 25 from both sides.
25 - 5x - 25 = -5x
2.50 - 25 = -22.5
Then, divide both sides by -5. It's -5 since 5 is the coefficient and it's negative, so -5.
-5x / -5 = x
-22.5 / -5 = 4.5
This means x = 4.5.
And if x is 4.5, then that means the cost of 1 cantaloupe is $4.50.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(x)=7/2
divide both sides by 1/2
x=
÷
x=·
x=14/2=7

=====================================================
Explanation:
Triangle ABC is isosceles because AC = BC.
The angles opposite these congruent sides are angle ABC and angle BAC. These are the base angles.
For any isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.
Angle BAC = 69 degrees is given. So angle ABC = 69 as well.
-------------------
The missing angle must add to the two other angles so that all three angles in a triangle add to 180
(angle ABC) + (angle BAC) + (angle BCA) = 180
69 + 69 + (angle BCA) = 180
138 + (angle BCA) = 180
angle BCA = 180-138
angle BCA = 42
-------------------
Angle DCE is congruent to angle BCA because they are vertical angles.
Triangle DCE is a right triangle. The missing angle is 90-(angle BCA) = 90-42 = 48
angle EDC = 48 degrees
Answer:
The bill is $1837.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- The variation
T = 35; when B = 210
Required
Find B when T = 40
Express as an equation

When T = 40, we have:
Make B the subject
Answer:
B.-38
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 18 = y ...(1)
x = -10 (Given)
Now,
Put the value of x in equation (1) we get,
2(-10) - 18 = y
-20 - 18 = y
-38 = y
<em><u>y = -38</u></em>
Thus, the value of y is -38
