Answer:

Relationship is proportional ;

8 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Oranges (lb) 2 ___ 3 ____5 ___?

Price ($) __ 3 ___4.50___7.50_12

For proportionality :

Oranges = k * price

Where, k = constant of proportionality

2 = 3k

k = 2 /3

k = 0.666666

Using k :

Number of oranges at price = 4.50 should be:

0.66666 * 4.50 = 3

Number of oranges at price = 7.50 should be:

0.66666 * 7.50 = 5

Hence, relationship is proportional

Number of oranges at $12

0.66666 * 12 = 8

How do I solve this algebra equation X+7=2x-8
ale4655 [162]
You know that we have to simplify the algebra equation, so first you have to combine x and 2x. X + 2x equals to 3x. Now that we combined x and 2x which makes 3x, we have to do 7 and -8. 7 + -8 which equals to -1. Therefore, the answer to this algebra equation is 3x + -1.
