$Let \: x, y \: (x,y>0) \: be \: the \: number \: of \: fruits \: the \: small \: and \: large \: baskets \: hold \: respectively \\ We \: have \: a \: system \: of \: equations:2x + 4y = 60 \: \wedge \: 2x + 10y = 132 \\ \Leftrightarrow x = 6 \: \wedge \: y = 12 \\ \Rightarrow The \: small \: baskets \: each \: include \: 6 \: fruits \\ \Rightarrow The \: large \: baskets \: each \: include \: 12 \: fruits$

What is the solution set for - 4x + 10 = 5x + 55?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

−4x+10−5x=5x+55−5x

−9x+10=55

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

−9x+10−10=55−10

−9x=45

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9.

−9x

−9

x=−5

John invest $5,000 in one account and $8,000 in an account paying 4% more in interest. He earned $1,230 in interest after one ye

Elina [12.6K]

Given:

John invest $5,000 in one account and $8,000 in an account paying 4% more in interest.

Total interest in one year = $1230

To find:

The rates of the investments.

Solution:

Let x% be the rate of interest on investment $5000.

Then, (x+4)% is the rate of interest on investment $8000.

Total interest is $1230. So,

$5000\times \dfrac{x}{100}+8000\times \dfrac{x+4}{100}=1230$

$50x+80(x+4)=1230$

$50x+80x+320=1230$

$130x=1230-320$

$130x=910$

Divide both sides by 130.

$x=\dfrac{910}{130}$

$x=7$

Now,

$x\%=7\%$

$(x+4)\%=(7+4)\%=11\%$

Therefore, $5,000 is invested at 7% and $8,000 is invested at 11%.

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $4004 to rent

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

4004 + 50.50t = 300.75t
4004 = 300.75t - 50.50t
4004 = 250.25t
4004 / 250.25 = t
16 = t <=== they charge the same at 16 tons

300.75(16) = 4812 <== they cost the same
