Step-by-step explanation:
x= -2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( (-2) - 5) / 2= -6
(-7) / 2 = -6
-3.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -2 cannot exist for this equation.
x=2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
(2 - 5) / 2= -6
(-3) / 2= -6
-1.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= 2 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -17
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -17) - 5) / 2= -6
(- 22) / 2= -6
-11 = -6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -17 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -7,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -7) -5) / 2= -6
(-12) / 2= -6
-6= -6
right hand side equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -7 exist for this equation.
Answer:
a type nut is 10 pounds
a different one is 14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
let a type of the nut be represented by t
Let a different one be represented by d
a type of nut cost $7 per pound
a different one cost $4.20 per pound
The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24
= $128.88
t + d = 24 ........(1)
7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)
From equation (1), t = 24 - d
Put t = 24 - d in equation 2
7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88
168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88
168 - 2.8d = 128.88
-2.8d = 128.88 - 168
-2.8d = -39.12
d = -39.12 / -2.8
d= 13.97
d = 14 pounds
t = 24 - d
t = 24 - 14
t = 10 pounds
A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds
C.) is the best answer others are less then 50%.
C.) $35 is $15 more then 20 this is over 50%

The two ways to find the ratio of the length is to turn the inches into feet or the feet into inches
So the answer can be solved like this:
1/36ft to 1/4ft which is 9:1 (blueprint size to actual size)
or
1/3in to 3in which is also 9:1 (blueprint size to actual size)
