Answer:  The correct option is (B) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x in the following  equation :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To find the value of x, we need to solve equation (i) for x.

The solution of equation (i) is s follows :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 4.5x-1.5x=3+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)

We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7

<em><u>Subtract 1.5x from both sides</u></em>

6 - 3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Simplify left side</u></em>

3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Add 7 to both sides</u></em>

10 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2</u></em>

x = 5

Arada [10]

Answer:

The 20 pound bag is a better by for only $66.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The large bag is better because the small bag is $27.93 for 7 pounds 7x3=21,so 3x27.93=83.79 is $16.81 more than the cost for the large bag

hope this makes sense;)

If line A contains Q(5,1) and is parallel to line MN with M(-2,4) and N(2,1), which ordered pair would be on the perpendicular t
vivado [14]
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.

Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line

y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)

y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)
