Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.
Then (3/4)g = (3/5)p. Since the weight of grapes is x + 28,
(3/4)(x + 28) = (3/5)p. We must solve for x. To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):
(5/3)(3/4)(x+28) = (5/3)(3/5)p
Then p = (15/9)(x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3)(x+28).
Answer:
You could be working at the Starbucks coffee and you messed up the coffee machine and it's turning really hot it can catch on fire and the counter is made out of would and other flammable stuff you can burn the whole Starbucks down to rubble
Let Y = total cost of both schools.
The total cost would be ( number of credits at Westside x 98) + (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).
The total number of credits he is taking is 14.
If w is the number of credits at Westside, then for Westside you have 98w ( $98 times the number of credit hours)
The equation is now y = 98w + (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).
The number of credit hours at Pinewood would be the total credit hours 14 minus the credit hours at Westside w, so you have 14-w, which needs to be multiplied by the cost at Pinewood.
The equation is now y = 98w + 115(14-w)
This can be simplified using the distributive property to:
Y = 98w + 1610 - 115w
Y = -17w + 1610
