Answer:

The number of pounds of bananas sold are <u>50</u> and the number of pounds of raspberries sold are <u>37</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charlotte runs a farm stand that sells bananas and raspberries.

Each pound of bananas sells for $3.25 and each pound of raspberries sells for $1.75.

Charlotte sold 13 more pounds of bananas than pounds of raspberries and made $227.25 altogether.

Now, tot find the number of pounds of bananas sold and the number of pounds of raspberries sold.

Let the number of pounds of raspberries be x.

Let the number of pounds of bananas be x+13.

Selling price of each pound of raspberries = $1.75.

Selling price of each bananas = $3.25.

Total price of bananas and raspberries sold = $227.25.

Now, we put an equation to get the number of pounds of bananas sold and the number of pounds of raspberries sold:

x(1.75)+x+13(3.25)=227.25\\\\1.75x+3.25x+42.25=227.25\\\\5x+42.25=227.25

<em>Subtracting both sides by 42.25 we get:</em>

<em />5x=185<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 5 we get:</em>

x=37.

<u>The number of pounds of raspberries = 37 pounds.</u>

Substituting the value of x:

x+13\\\\=37+13\\\\=50.

<u>The number of pounds of bananas = 50.</u>

Therefore, the number of pounds of bananas sold are 50 and the number of pounds of raspberries sold are 37.

If 2 years on earth equals 5 months in another dimension, what are the equations to find the time in earth and that other dimens
Ede4ka [16]

Let x be the length of a month on the other dimension. Since a year value is 365.242 days

We have 2 × 365.242 = 5 × x

It means that 5x = 730,484

and that x = 730,484 / 5 ≈ 146,1 days rounded to the decimal

This means that a month length in the other dimension is of roughly 146 days.. and If we assume that a month in the other dimension is of 30 days approximately, then one day length would be of 146,1 / 30 ≈ 4.87 days

Plssss helpppp againnnn
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'x', we will need to use the Supplementary Angles theorem. This states that on a line, all angles must add up to 180°.

We can set up a simple algebraic equation to solve for 'x':

180 = x + 12 + 100 + x  

180 = 112 + 2x  **Combine like terms

68 = 2x **Divide both sides by '2'

x = 34°.

Therefore, the measure of ∠x = 34°.

How do you solve this equation?

Exponentail thingies

easy, look at all them them, see that they have 5 in common?
rremember how esay it was to factor
ax^2+bx+c=0

now we have
5^(2x)-6(5^x)+5=0
remember that 5^(2x)=(5^2)^x or (5^x)^2
in other words, we can rewrite it as
1(5^x)^2-6(5^x)+5=0
if yo want, replace 5^x with a and factor
1a^2-6a+5=0
(a-1)(a-5)=0
a=5^x
(5^x-1)(5^x-5)=0
set each to zero

5^x-1=0
5^x=1
take the log₅ of both sides
x=log₅1


5^x-4=0
5^x=4
take the log₅ of both sides
x=log₅4

x=log₅1 and/or log₅4







second quesiton

same thing

1(2^x)-10(2^x)+16=0
factor
(2^x-8)(2^x-2)=0
set each to zero

2^x-8=9
2^x=8
x=3

2^x-2=0
2^x=2
x=1

x=3 or 1







first one
x=log₅1 and/or log₅4
second one
x=1 and/or 3
