Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy, Beth and Catherine bought the same amount of apples.

let s say this is x

Amy has x amount of apples

Beth has x amount of apples

Catherine has x amount of apples

Catherine gave same amount of apples to Amy and Beth

let s say this is y

Amy has x + y amount of apples

Beth has x + y amount of apples

Catherine has x - 2y amount of apples

Catherine has 15 less than Amy so x-2y=x+y-15

Catherine has 15 less than Beth so x-2y=x+y-15

so finally, it comes x-2y=x+y-15

so 3y=15 and then y =5

Catherine gave 5 lb to Amy and 5lb to Beth

Catherine receives $12.5 from both of them

it means that 10lb costs $12.5 so the price for each lb is $1.25

thanks

Can anyone factor this?? I'm a little lost tysm!!!!<br> 5x^2+12x+4 5x 2 +12x+4

For a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c=5⋅4=20 and whose sum is b=12.

<u>Factor 12 out of 12x.</u>

5x^2+12(x)+4

<u>Rewrite 12 as 2 plus 10</u>

5x^2+(2+10)x+4

Apply the distributive property.

5x^2+2x+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(5x^2+2x)+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(5x+2)+2(5x+2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x+25x+2.

(5x+2)(x+2)
