<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

one pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon.

Let x be the cost of one pound of salmon.

This means that the cost of one pound of swordfish is: 1.5x

Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.

This means that:

2x+3(1.5x)=39\\\\2x+4.5x=39\\\\6.5x=39\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{6.5}\\\\x=6

This means that cost of 1 pound of salmon= $ 6

Hence, cost of 2 pounds of salmon= $ 12  ( since, 6×2=12 )

and cost of 1 pound of swordfish= $ (1.5×6)= $ 9

Hence,

cost of 3 pound of swordfish= $ (9×3)=$ 27

  • Hence, ratio of amount of money she pays for salmon to the swordfish is:

                    12/27= 4/9

                         i.e.   4:9

  • and the ratio of  amount of money she pays for swordfish to the salmon is:

                         9:4

For every 2 pounds of salmon she pays for she will get 3 pounds of sword fish with it. 2 to 3 or 2/3 are different ways to Write a ratio for this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-12.7y-3.1x)+5.9y-(4.2y+x)\\\\=-12.7y-3.1x+5.9y-4.2y-x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-12.7y+5.9y-4.2y)+(-3.1x-x)\\\\=-11y-4.1x

If f(x)=3^x+10x and g(x)=4x-2, find (f+g)(x)
Vikentia [17]
Hi there!

First we need to remember the following.
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Now substitute both of the formulas.
(f + g)(x) = ({3}^{x} + 10x)+ (4x - 2)

Work out the parenthesis.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 10x + 4x - 2

And finally collect terms.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 14x - 2

~ Hope this helps you!
