Add 2x + 5 and 4x - 7
Then you isolate the variable or “get rid of” the numbers that re stopping you from getting “x”.
By doing the inverse operation.
If you add ___ you subtract ____ it form itself
If you subtract ___ you add ____ To itself.
So you Cancel out by getting rid of the other numbers.
Same thing with multiplying and dividing.
If you multiply ____ you divide___ but don’t divide “x”
Only the integer.
If you divide _____ you multiply ____ it
Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let cost of apples = x
And cost of Oranges =y
Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Step 2
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Using substitution method to solve the equation
6 x + 3y= 24
24-6x=3y
y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x
Y= 8-2x
Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2
5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23
5x+ 32 -8x= 23
32-23= 8x-5x
9=3x
x=9/3
x=3
Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y
6 x + 3y= 24
6(3) +3y= 24
18+3y=24
3y= 24-18
3y=6
y=6/3= 2
Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The populational growth is exponential with a factor of 1.12 each year. An exponential function has the following general equation:
Where 'a' is the initial population (25,000 people), 'b' is the growth factor (1.12 per year), 'x' is the time elapsed, in years, and 'y(x)' is the population after 'x' years.
Therefore, the function P(t) that models the population in Madison t years from now is:
Because you need to subtract from 10, you need to do 10-8. Then you will add 5 since you took away 5 to subtract from 10.
