Answer:

5.46 kilograms or 6.6 kilograms  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that 2 5 in your question has two possible meaning:

  • 2/5 of  this weight is apples

Let divide 9.1 kilograms into 5 equal part

=> 1 equal part =  9.1 / 5 = 1.82 kilograms  

Because 2/5 of this weight is apples, so the weight of apples accounted for 2 equal parts

=> the weight of apples is: 2*1.82 kilograms  = 3.64 kilograms

=>  the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 3.64 kilograms = 5.46 kilograms

  • 2.5 kg of  this weight is apples

Given the total weight is 9.1 kilograms

=>  the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 2.5 kilograms = 6.6 kilograms

Determine x in the figure.<br> 74°<br> 2xº
Monica [59]

Answer:

-37

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

74 + 2x = 0

Solving

74 + 2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-74' to each side of the equation.

74 + -74 + 2x = 0 + -74

Combine like terms: 74 + -74 = 0

0 + 2x = 0 + -74

2x = 0 + -74

Combine like terms: 0 + -74 = -74

2x = -74

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -37

Simplifying

x = -37

What number must you add to complete the square? x^2+10x=15
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(x+5)^2=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The number to be added is the square of half of the linear term coefficient. Such coefficient in our case is "10" (the number accompanying the variable x). Then, half of it is 10/2 = 5, and that number squared gives 25.

Therefore, the number to add on bothsides of the equality is 25, which leads to the following:

x^2+10x+25=15+25\\x^2+10x+25=40\\x^2+5x+5x+25=40\\x(x+5)+5(x+5)=40\\\\(x+5)^2=40

This matches answer B) of your choices.
