Answer:
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds
p = apple pounds
b = banana pounds
<u>Cost</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
<u>Pounds</u>
p + b = 3.8
<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>
p + b = 3.8
b = -p + 3.8
<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) = 5.84
<u>distribute / multiply .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>
1.90p + -.75p + 2.85 = 5.84
<u>Combine the p values</u>
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
Answer:
-15.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x < - 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 46 - 8x > 22 ( add 46 to both sides )
- 8x > 68
Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity
x < - 
, that is
x < - 8.5
