Ok so if you notice every choice is solved for a, all you have to do is isolate "a" in 7a-8b=10x. Start by moving 8b to the other side and to change the sign. Now it is 7a = 10x + 8b. Then divide everything by 7 and you get a = (10x + 8b)/7

One pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon. Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price for 1 pound of swordfish = The price of 1.5 pound of salmon

So, On this relation

The price for ( 1 × 2 ) pound of swordfish = The price of ( 1.5× 2 ) pound of salmon

i.e The price for 2 pound of swordfish = The price of 3 pound of salmon

Now According to question

Mrs. O pay the total money for 2 pounds of swordfish and 3 pound of salmon = $ 39

Let the money she pay for swordfish = 2 sw

And The money she pay for salmon = 3 sa

∵, The total money she pay for both = $ 39

I.e 2 sw + 3 sa = 39

As 2 sw = 3 sa

So, 3 sa + 3 sa = 39

Or, 6 sa = 39

or, sa = $\frac{39}{6}$ = $\frac{13}{2}$

∴ sw = $\frac{13}{2}$ × $\frac{3}{2}$

or, sw = $\frac{39}{4}$

Now, the ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon = $\frac{\frac{39}{4}}{\frac{13}{2}}$

I.e The ratio = $\frac{6}{4}$

Hence The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

1/5x-2/3y=30<br> What is the value of the x in the equation when y=15

svetlana [45]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} y = 30 \\ \frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{3} 15 = 30 \\ \frac{1}{5} x - \frac{30}{3} = 30 \\ \frac{1}{5} x - 10 = 30 \\ \frac{1}{5} x = 30 + 10 \\ \frac{1}{5} x = 40 \\ x = 40 \div \frac{1}{5} \\ x = 40 \times \frac{5}{1} \\ x = 40 \times 5 \\ x = 200$
