Answer:

x = -1.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of a number x and twelve would be: x/12.

But the problem tells us that seven less than this quotient is 5 times the number. Written as an equation and solving for x this would be:

\frac{x}{12}-7=5x\\\frac{x-84}{12} =5x\\ x-84=(12)(5x)\\x-84=60x\\-84=59x\\-84/59=x\\-1.42 = x

Therefore x = -1.42

3 mangoes and 2 oranges have a mass of 200gm and 4 mangoes and 4 oranges have a mass of 300gm. Find out the mass of each fruit.
mestny [16]
Start by defining your variables
let x be the mass of a single mango in gm
let y be the mass of a single orange in gm

now, write the question as a system of equations

3 mango and 2 orange have a mass of 200 gm
3x +2y = 200
4 mango and 4 orange have a mass of 300 gm
4x +4y = 300

now you have a system of equations
3x+2y =200
4x+4y =300

solve for x and y

****Brainliest to best answer!!***<br> Thank u to everyone who helps!
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

When you read the question it says that her average speed from the library to the gym is 15 mph less than her speed from her home to the library. So x - 15 is what describes that situation.

If it is A it cannot be anything else.

B is incorrect. x - 15 is not a time. It is a rate. It can be used to develop the amount of time, but by itself it is still A.

C is incorrect. Her average speed from her house to the library is x

D is incorrect. The distance is given as the same as from her home to the library as  from the library to the gym. Both are 4
