Answer:  Equation:  5x = 62.50 - 12.50    or   x = \frac{62.50-12.50}{5}  

x is the cost of each shrub  x = $10

Step-by-step explanation:  Total bill = $62.50.

Subtract the cost of potting soil for $12.50 to find the cost of just the shrubs.   5x  equals that amount

5x = 62.50 - 12.50

5x = 50   divide both sides by 5  

5x/5 = 50/5

x = 10

Answer:

19 people

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many people went to the mall, count each x

At 0 trips, there are 2 xs, so<u> 2</u> people had 0 trips to the mall

At 1 trip, there are 0 xs, so <u>0</u> people had 1 trip to the mall

At 2 trips, there are 10 xs, so <u>10 </u>people had 2 trips to the mall

At 3 trips, there are 7 xs, so <u>7</u> people had 3 trips to the mall

Add up all the xs

2+0+10+7=19

The numerator of the given fraction is 4 less than the denominator. If 5 is added to both numerator and denominator, the resulti
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.

Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator

=> y = x - 4 ...(1)

When 5 is added to both:

Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5

Now their ratio is 5/7.

=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7

=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)

=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25

=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35

=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}

=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 9

Thus,

Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9

BARSIC [14]

Answer: 3.5 h

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. Data:</u>

a) s = 740 miles / h

b) d = 2,567 miles

c) t = ?

<u>2. Equation:</u>

  • speed = distance / time
  • s = d / t

<u>3. Solution:</u>

  • Solve the equation for t:

        s = d / t ⇒ t = d / s

  • Substitute values:

        t = 2,567 miles / (740 miles/h) ≈ 3.47 h ≈ 3.5 h
