Step-by-step Answer:

Given:

Bill : 3 minutes / apple

Frank : 5 minutes / 2 apples, or 2.5 minutes / apple.

So in 15 minutes, Bill eats 5 apples, and Frank eats 15/2.5 = 6 apples for a total of 11 apples.

To eat completely at least 12 apples, it would take 15 minutes + 1 apples, which means 17.5 minutes, with Bill having eaten 5 5/6 apples, and Frank having eaten 7 apples, exactly.

So the minimum time to eat 12 apples would be 17.5 minutes.

Note: at 18 minutes, they would have eaten 13 1/5 apples.

An equation is shown below:
lisov135 [29]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( 2x - 8 ) + 15 = -15 (write the equation)

5 ( 2x - 8 ) = -30 (subtract by 15 on both sides)

2x - 8 = -6 (divide by 5 on both sides)

2x = 2 (add 8 to both sides)

x = 1 (divide by 2 on both sides)

Can someone solve this? and tell me how?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.

The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the <u>reverse operation</u>.

The reverse of exponents is <u>square root</u>.

(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x

Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.

4x + 10 = 9 + 7x

4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x          Subtract 4x from both sides

10 = 9 + 3x                

10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x            Subtract 9 from both sides

1 = 3x            Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 1/3           Answer
