Let the number of bags that he would have been used to put 3 kg of apples be x. Thus the number of bags that would be used to put 2kgs will therefore be (x+9), hence the total number of kgs the bags will hold will be given by:
3*x=3x kgs
2(x+9)=(2x+18) kgs
since the total weights are the same then:
2x+18=3x
hence
18=3x-2x
18=x
thus the number of bags required to put 3 kgs of apples will be 18. Thus the total Kgs of apples was:
3x
=3*18
=54 kgs

<span> 3x kgs
2 (x + 9) = (2x + 18) kgs
2x + 18 = 3x

3x:
= 3 x 18
<span>= 54 kg</span></span>

Answer:

x = -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.

2x - 5 = -20

2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5

2x = -15  ( Add positive 5 to both sides )

2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)

x = -15/2  ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)

Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.

Cheers.

Answer: the height of the kite is 106.065 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the kite represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, the height of the kite, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Therefore,

Sin 45 = x/150

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 150Sin45 = 150 × 0.7071

x = 106.065 ft
