Make x the subject means you need to solve for x
y = ax^2 solve for x
divide both side by a
y/a = ax^2/a
simplify
y/a = x^2
so
x = square root (y/a)
2.5 pounds of apples * $1.20 = $3
He spent total $4.50
So he had to have spent 1.50 on oranges.
So $1.50=$1.20 x where x will be the pound of oranges bought.
1.50/1.20 = 1.25 or 1 1/4 pounds of oranges.

Answer:
9x + 3 = 7x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.
He arranged the chairs in 9 equal rows but had 3 chairs left over.
Let x be the number of chairs. So,
9x+3 .....(1)
Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows but had 19 chairs left over. So,
7x+19 ......(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
9x+3 = 7x+19
9x-7x = 19-3
2x = 16
x = 8
Hence, the correct option is (b).
