$8(x-4)-6(x-1)+9x\\\\=8\cdot x+8\cdot(-4)-6\cdot x-6\cdot(-1)+9x\\\\=8x-32-6x+6+9x\\\\=(8x-6x+9x)+(-32+6)\\\\=\boxed{11x-26}$

5. A fruit concentrate is sold in 250 mL packs. The instructions are 'Add water to make one litre of ready-to-drink fruit juice'

Ierofanga [76]

Given ,

Concentrate= 250 mL

Water = 1 liter = 1000 mL

A) ratio is 250:1000 = 1:4

B) for 250 mL it is 1 liter now for 2000mL it is X .

=> x = 2000/250 = 8 liters

C) volume of water in 6L of made up juice is 1500 mL

D) 1 liter - 5 glasses

For 80 glasses it would be 80/5 = 16 glasses

three bags of sweets weigh 27/4 kg. two of them have the same weight and the third bag is heavier than each of the bags of equal

Nana76 [90]

I'm here buddy,

so, let's take the value of the two bags with equal weight as x.

= x + x + (x + $\frac{6}{5}$ ) = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x = $\frac{27}{4}$ - $\frac{6}{5}$

( let's take the LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

= 3x = $\frac{135}{20}$ - $\frac{24}{20}$

= 3x = $\frac{111}{20}$

= x = $\frac{111}{20}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{111}{20}$ × $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$

So, the weight of the equal bags are $\frac{37}{20}$ and the weight of the third bag ( heavy one ) is $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{24}{20}$ = $\frac{61}{20}$
