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

Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2—— the answer would have been x=-1

Slope -2/3 .x-intercept at 3 written in y=mx+b
siniylev [52]
Given the slope, m = -2/3, and the x-intercept, (3,0):

Use these values and plug into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept, b:

y = mx + b

0 = -2/3(3) + b

0 = -2 + b

Add 2 to both sides to isolate b:

0 + 2 = -2 + 2 + b

2 = b

Now that we have our slope, m = -2/3, and the y-intercept, 2

The linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = -2/3x + 2

Find the value of X in the triangle shown below.
Travka [436]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangle's angles are 180 so since you know one angle is 80, you would put 2x + 80 = 180, which would be 2x = 100, which simplifies to x = 50

Write an explicit formula that represents the sequence defined by the following recursive formula
Stels [109]

Answer:

The explicit formula is a_{n} = 5 - 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula of the arithmetic sequence of the recursive formula

a_{1} = first term; a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d is a_{n} = a + (n - 1)d, where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between each two consecutive terms
  • n is the position of the number

∵ The recursive formula is a_{1} = -1 and a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 6

→ Compare it with the formula above

∴ a = -1 ⇒ 1st term

∴ d = -6 ⇒ common difference

→ Substitute them in the form of the explicit formula

∵ a_{n}  = -1 + (n - 1)(-6)

∴ a_{n} = -1 + (-6)(n) - (-6)(1)

∴ a_{n}  = -1 + -6n - (-6)

∴ a_{n} = -1 - 6n + 6

→ Add the like term

∴ a_{n} = 5 - 6n

∴ The explicit formula is a_{n} = 5 - 6n
