Answer:
x = 9, y = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 1) = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x - 1 = 8 ( add 1 to both sides )
x = 9
Also
= ( cross- multiply )
12(y + 1) = 336 ( divide both sides by 12 )
y + 1 = 28 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
y = 27
The answer should be 16 you add 23.96 to both sides
Oranges = x
apples = y
8x + 11y = 15.22
x = 0.50
8(0.50) + 11y = 15.22
4 + 11y = 15.22
11y = 15.22 - 4
11y = 11.22
y = 11.22/11
y = 1.02 <== cost of each apple
Answer:
a < -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out inequality
-2a - 5 > 3
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides
-2a > 8
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2
a < -4
Here, we can see that any value of <em>a </em>less than -4 works. So <em>a</em> could be -124 or -5, or even -1271293587923857 and it would work.
