Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x^2 + 3 = 5
- 2x^2 = 5 - 3
- 2x^2 = 2
- x^2 = 2/2
- x = \| 1
- x = 1
Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

Answer:
Sample mean for solution 1: 19.27; sample mean for solution 2: 10.32
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sample mean, find the sum of the data values and divide by the sample size.
For solution 1, the sum is given by:
9.7+10.5+9.4+10.6+9.3+10.7+9.6+10.4+10.2+10.5 = 192.7
The sample size is 10; this gives us
192.7/10 = 19.27
For solution 2, the sum is given by:
10.6+10.3+10.3+10.2+10.0+10.7+10.3+10.4+10.1+10.3 = 103.2
The sample size is 10, this gives us
103.2/10 = 10.32
-2
the second equation is the result of subtracting 2
The answer is 25%
(1)
If 64 is 100%, 48 is how much percent:
64 : 100% = 48 : x
x = 100% * 48 : 64
x = 75
(2)
Percent of decrease is:
100% - x = 100% - 75% = 25%
