So in order to answer your question  we calculate 40 - 22 wich gives us the answer of 18, so now we can say that 4/5 of apples weight 18 so now 18 / 4 = 4,5; 4,5 * 5 = 22,5 wich is the weight of apples you can put in the box, to know the answer we deduct the greatest weight of apples only from the weight of the box with those apples so, 40 - 22,5 = 17,5
so the answer to your question is 17,5
i hope i helped you

Solve for x, given the equation Square root of x-5+7=11
denis-greek [22]

\sqrt{x-5+7} = 11\\x-5+7 = 11^2\\x-5+7 = 121\\x + 2 = 121\\x = 119

Check the answer:

\sqrt{119-5+7} \\\sqrt{114+7} \\\sqrt{121} \\11

This answer is correct,

x = 119

2x+4y=0
3x+y=10
So what we want to do is get y onto one side by itself using whatever equation you like.
So I'm taking 2x+4y=0 and subtracting 4y from both sides
So we end up with
2x=4y
Divide both sides by four
2/4x is 1/2 x
So we get 1/2x=y
Take this and plug it into the other equation
3x+y=10
3x+1/2x=10
Add your like terms
3 1/2x=10
Putting 3 1/2 as a mixed number we get 7/2
So..
7/2x=10
Multiply by the opposite of 7/2 on both sides
Which is 2/7 this will cancel out the left side.
So we end up with
X= 10•2/7
X=20/7
Which is 2 and 6/7 as a mixed number.

PLEASE HELP! PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION PLS

Answer:

Tooth A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger tooth has to be displayed, knowing that no matter how many zeros you add to the end of a decimal, the value of it will stay the same. 0.23 is 1 digit short that 0.195, so if you just add a 0 to 0.23, it make both of them have a digit in the thousandths place. Now it's easier to solve, 0.230>0.195.

Tooth A should be displayed.
