Mathematics

QveST [7]3 years ago
7 0

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions. Let x be the cost for 12 ounces of cheese. We will start like this:

15 ounces : 6 $ = 12 ounces : x $

x $ = (6 $ * 12 ounces)/15 ounces

x $ = 72 $/15

x = 4,8$

The cost of 12 ounces of cheese is 4,8$.

Hope this helps!

two ferries start moving toward each other from opposite riverbanks, a and b. when they pass each other for the first time, the
Usimov [2.4K]

Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank   where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank

boat one has travelled 700    (rate = 700/unit time)         boat two has travelled   x    rate = x / unit time

boat one then travels   x  + 400  more      and boat two travels   700 + (700+x -400) more    when they meet

The time is the same      rate x time = distance      distance/rate = time     equate the distances divided by the respective rates

(700 + x + 400)/700     =    (  x  +  700     +  (700+x-400) )/x

1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000

x^2-300x -700000 = 0                         quadratic formula yields  x = 1000  

One boat travels 700   the other   1000 whe they first meet.....width of river =   700+ 1000 = 1700 m

Write and solve the equation and then check your answer. Which statements are true about the equation and its solution? Check
ch4aika [34]

The correct equation is n - 31 = 52

To check the solution, substitute 83 for the variable in the equation

This is an addition problem.

To solve the equation, add 31 to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number decreased by thirty-one is fifty-two

That means:

  • Subtract 31 from a number
  • The difference equal 52

Assume that the number is n

∵ The number is n

∵ When n decreased by 31 the answer is 52

∴ The equation is n - 31 = 52

The correct equation is n - 31 = 52

∵ n - 31 = 52

- To find n add 31 to both sides of the equation

∴ n - 31 + 31 = 52 + 31 ⇒ addition property

∴ n = 83

-To check the equation substitute n by 83 in the left hand side, the

  answer must be equal the right hand side

∵ Left hand side = 83 - 31 = 52

∵ Right hand side = 52

∴ n = 83 is correct answer

To check the solution, substitute 83 for the variable in the equation

This is an addition problem.

To solve the equation, add 31 to both sides.

NISA [10]

The weight of each bag is 0.545 lb .

<h3>What is weight ?</h3>

Weight in maths is the value of the mass of an object on a measuring scale , It is measured in pound , ounce , kilogram etc.

It is given that

Total weight of green grapes = 5.65 lb

Total weight of red grapes = 3.07lb

Total weight = 5.65 +3.07 = 8.72   lb

Total number of bags = 16

the weight of each bag

= 8.72 / 16

= 0.545 lb

Therefore the weight of each bag is 0.545 lb .

The complete question is

Emilio bought 5.65lb  of green grapes and  3.07lb of red grapes. He divided the grapes equally into 16 bags. If each bag of grapes has the same weight, how much does each bag weigh?

Solve the system by substitution. x= x= \,\,-y-5 −y−5 -3x+7y= −3x+7y= \,\,-45 −45
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

(1, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

the layout of your question is kind of confusing, but i'm guessing this is the system of equations

x = -y - 5

-3x + 7y = -45

plug in x to the second equation

-3(-y - 5) + 7y = -45

distribute

3y + 15 + 7y = -45

combine like terms

10y = - 60

divide by 10

y = -6

plug y into first equation

x = -(-6) - 5

x = 6 - 5

x = 1
