Answer:

10 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

3 oranges 15 oranges

--------------- = -----------------

2 apples x apples

Using cross products

3x = 2 * 15

3x = 30

Divide by 3 on each side

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Answer:

5x+8y

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first open the brackets by using the distrubitive propety.

2(x+4y)+3x

2x+8y+3x

Now we can combine like terms.

5x+8y.

I combined the 3x and the 2x. This works because imagined I have 3 of something then I got 2 more of that something I would now have 5 of that something.

Hoped this helped,

What is the exponential form of 1800

cricket20 [7]

you would move the decimal until you only have 1 number to the left of it and the rest on the right. we moved it three spots left in this case so your answer would be as follows.

1.8 x 10^3 is the answer

Please solve this proportion with steps (I'm stuck) (9x+6)/18= (20x+4)/3x

guapka [62]

$\frac{9x+6}{18}=\frac{20x+4}{3x}$

Cross multiply. Distribute...
$3x(9x+6)=18(20x+4)\\27x^2+18x=360x+72\\27x^2-342x-72=0\\3x^2-38x-8=0$

OH GOD IT'S A QUADRATIC
(our equation is in ax² + bx + c = 0 form. a=3. b= -38. c= -8.
plug these values into the quadratic formula and simplify.)
$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-38)\pm\sqrt{(-38)^2-4(3)(-8)}}{2(3)}=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{1444+96}}6\\\\\sqrt{1444+96}=\sqrt{1540}=\sqrt{4\times345}=2\sqrt{345}\\\\\frac{38\pm2\sqrt{345}}6=\boxed{x=\frac{19\pm\sqrt{345}}3}$

Approximate values for x: -0.20714 or 12.874

14 more than 6 times a number as a variable expression

Andreas93 [3]

6 times x (the variable) plus 14 so basically 6x+14
