Answer: 5.22kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the market. Of the pears and apples sold, 2/5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. To calculate the kilograms of apple sold goes thus:

Total kilograms sold = 8.7kg

Fraction of pears weight = 2/5

Pears kilograms sold = 2/5 × 8.7

= 0.4 × 8.7

= 3.48kg

Since the kilograms of pears sold is , 3.48kg, to get the kilograms of apple sold, we subtract 3.48kg from 8.7kg. This will be:

= 8.7kg - 3.48kg

= 5.22kg

Find the equation of the line with slope 3/7 and that passes through the point (14, 0). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b
Allushta [10]

Answer:

y = 3/7x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Slope <em>m</em> = 3/7

Point (14, 0)

<u>Step 2: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    0 = 3/7(14) + b
  2. Multiply:                        0 = 6 + b
  3. Isolate <em>b</em>:                       -6 = b
  4. Rewrite:                         b = -6

<u>Step 3: Write linear equation</u>

y = 3/7x - 6

the national flag of scotland has a white diagonal on a blue backround Tracy is sewing a scottish flag she knows that the length
dybincka [34]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem, a²+b²=c², where c represents the diagonal and a and b represents the other sides of a right angled triangle

As a flag is a rectangle, the two triangles cut would be  right angled triangles

Therefore, a²+9²=15²

a²+81=225

a²=144

a=√144

a=12 feet

Solve each system using SUBSTITUTION. Remember to check!
Annette [7]

Answer:

\left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can directly substitute y of the first equation to the second equation.

-2x - 1 = 3x - 16

5x = 15

x = 3

Substituting back to any of the two equations, we get y = -2(3)-1 = -7.  If you check with the second equation, y = 3(3)-16 = -7 as well.

Therefore \left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right..

For the values a=8 which is a leg of a right triangle and value c=19 which is the hypotenuse find the length of the other leg b
FinnZ [79.3K]
C^2=a^2+b^2  we are given the hypotenuse of 19 units and one leg of 8 units so:

19^2=8^2+b^2

361=64+b^2

b^2=297

b=√297

b≈17.2 to the nearest tenth
