The answer would be 72=x+(x-8), where x is equal to the larger number.
This would be because the sum of 72 is equal to a number and 8 less than that number, which can be represented by x plus 8 less than x, or x+(x-8).

What is the solution of StartRoot x + 12 EndRoot = x?
Ber [7]

Answer:

x = 4      or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{x+12}=x

Take square both the sides,

(\sqrt{x+12})^{2}=x^{2}\\\\x+12=x^{2}

x² - x - 12 = 0

x² - 4x + 3x - 3*4 =0

x*(x - 4) + 3*(x - 4)= 0

(x- 4 )(x+3) =0

x -4 =0   or x + 3 = 0

x = 4      or x = -3

The price of grapes, g, is $2.19 per pound. The price of bananas, b, is $0.59 per pound. The price of pears, p, is $1.49 per pou
AlekseyPX
Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
  let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.

Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
  2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p


Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
  2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32

The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
  $11.32

WHAT IS THE ANSWER??? HELP
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph has a  x - axis of amount of scarves in intervals of 1 and a y - axis of hours in intervals of 20

Using this information we can see that in the ordered pair, 1 represents x and 16 represents y, which means that the scarves ar 1 and the hours are 16 in the ordered pair

C makes the most logical sense because there is nothing about centimeters in the graph and the scarves are not in the y, but rather in the x
