Answer:

  C.  1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation above is not one you'd start off with to represent this problem. It is an intermediate step in the solution.

You can get there by realizing that the number of pounds of bananas is 3.8-p. Then the cost of the bananas is ...

  banana cost = 0.75·(3.8-p) = 2.85 - 0.75p

Of course, the cost of apples is 1.90p. The total cost is then ...

  apple cost + banana cost = total cost

  1.90p + (2.85 -0.75p) = 5.84

Simplifying, this becomes ...

  1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84 . . . . . . . . . . . . matches selection C

The mean temperature for the first 4 days in January was 8°C. The mean temperature for the first 5 days in January was 7°C. What
ahrayia [7]
Answer : The 5th day = 3 Celsius

Explanation:
the average of the first 4 day is 8
Which mean the combine temp on the first 4 day is 8 x 4 = 32


Now on the first 5 day the average temp is 7

Then the combine temp on the first 5 day is 7 x 5 = 35

Find the 5th day

4 days combine temp + 5th day = the combine temp of 5 days

32 + 5th day = 35
5th day = 35-32
5th day temp = 3C

Write an equation for the line described. Give the answer in standard form. through (2,6), m= -5​
LiRa [457]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5x +y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your point and slope make this ...

  y -6 = -5(x -2)

  y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation

Need help on this<br><br> Z+4&gt;2z
snow_lady [41]

Answer: z < 4

z+4 > 2z

z+4-z > 2z-z ..... Subtract z from both sides

4 > z

z < 4

So the solution set for z is any number that is less than 4, which could be something like z = 2 or z = 3.
