Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange
a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple
</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span>
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

Answer:
w=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for w by cross multiplying.
Answer:
2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, w represents the width of the rectangle,
∵ length of the rectangle is 3 times the width of the rectangle,
So, length = 3w,
Since, the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2(length + width)
= 2(w + 3w)
= 2w + 2(3w)
If P = 64 feet,
⇒ 2w +2(3w) = 64
⇒ 2w + 6w = 64
⇒ 8w = 64
⇒ w = 8
Verification :
P = 2(8) + 2((3(8)) = 16 + 48 = 64 feet
Hence, the first step that should be taken to verify that the width of the rectangle is 8 is 2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Note : a solution obtain from an equation is verified by substituting the value in the equation.

Answer: Q = 8</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The left hand side of the first equation is x-3y
The left hand side of the second equation is 2x-6y = 2(x-3y). Note how it's simply double of the first expression x-3y
If we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, we get
x-3y = 4
2(x-3y) = 2*4
2x-6y = 8
Meaning that 2x-6y = 8 is equivalent to x-3y = 4. Both produce the same line leading to infinitely many solutions. Each solution will lay along the line x-3y = 4.
We can say each solution is in the set {(x,y): x-3y = 4}
Which is the same as saying each solution is of the form (3y+4,y)
