Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
okay, so here are a few methods you can use.
___
1) +
x + 7 = 10 so because this is addition we use the reverse, subtraction. So
x - 7 = 10 - 7 and that equals to 3.
2) -
x - 2 = 10 so because this is subtraction we do the reverse, addition.
x + 2 = 10 + 2 and that equals to 12.
3) x
x times 3 = 21 because this is multiplying we divide.
x/3 = 21/3 and that would be 7.
4) /
x/2 = 10 same as above, reverse is multiplying.
x times 2 = 10 times 2 and thats 20.

Answer:
15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a proportion question
It says 1/2 crates of apple are used for every 3/4 crates of oranges
For 5/2 crates of apple, x crates of oranges will be needed.
To get x, we simply multiply 1/2 by x and equate it to 3/4 multiplied by 5/2
This means: 0.5x = 0.75 × 2.5
x = ( 0.75 × 2.5 ) ÷ 0.5 = 3.75
Hence for 5/2 crates for apple, she will need 15/4 crates of oranges.
Answer:
1) x=3, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 7y = 9 —— (1)
-4x -7y = 9 —— (2)
(1) + (2)
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
put x=3 in (1)
10(3) + 7y = 9
30 + 7y = 9
7y = 9 - 30
7y = -21
y = -21/7
y = -3

The y intercept is 2.25 and x intercept is -3
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
