Answer:
- 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = x - 4
2x - x = - 4 + 3
x = - 1
The solution to the above equation is - 1.
Divide the total amount by the portion size.
= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction
= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4
to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4
= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators
= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2
= 14

Hello!
Let's put this into a system of equations and have a represent the apples and o represent the oranges.
o=2a+2
0.5o-0.5a=4
Since we can already so what o equals (2a+2) we will substitute it into the second equation and solve for a.
0.5(2a+2)-0.5a=4
1a+1-0.5a=4
1.5a+1=4
1.5a=3
a=2
Now that we know the value of a will put a into the first equation to find o.
o=2(2)+2
o=4+2
o=6
There were 6 oranges and 2 apples.
I hope this helps!
