The computer cost is $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of the price of a tv to the price of a computer is 13 : 15
  • The tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

We need to find the cost of the computer

Assume that the price of the computer is $x

∵ The ratio between the prices of the tv and the computer is 13 : 15

∵ The price of the computer is $x

∵ The price of the tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

- That means the price of the tv is less than the price of the

  computer by $400

∴ The price of the tv is $(x - 400)

By using the ratio method

→  tv              :    computer

→  13              :    15

→  (x - 400)   :    x

By using the cross multiplication

∴ 15(x - 400) = 13(x)

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x - 6000 = 13x

- Add 6000 to both sides

∴ 15x = 13x + 6000

- Subtract 13x from both sides

∴ 2x = 6000

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3000

The computer cost is $3000

Simplify 3 - (4x - 5) + 6.<br> A) 12x + 21 <br> B) 4x + 14 <br> C) 4x + 4 <br> D) -4x + 14
stepladder [879]

Answer:

D) -4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the expression

3 - (4x - 5) + 6

Here we are going to open the bracket at first step

as we have a negative sign in front of bracket the signs of the terms inside brackets will be reversed

3-4x+5+6

now we bring the like terms together

3+5+6 - 4x

Here 3, 5, 6 all are constant and hence like

14-4x

or

3 - (4x - 5) + 6= -4x+14

Hence our answer is -4x+14

Lerok [7]
3,600 gallons per hour because there is 60 minutes in an hour and you started with 10 minutes so you multiply 60 by 60.
