Answer:

The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the number of pounds of apples

(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes

we know that

Solve for x

 

so

therefore

The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5

Answer:

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

6-2x=y 14+3x=y plzzz helllllllllllllllp
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

(- \frac{8}{5}, \frac{46}{5} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the2 equations

6 - 2x = y → (1)

14 + 3x = y → (2)

Substitute y = 14 + 3x into (1)

6 - 2x = 14 + 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

6 - 5x = 14 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 5x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = - \frac{8}{5}

Substitute x = - \frac{8}{5} into either of the 2 equations for the corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 6 - 2(- \frac{8}{5} ) = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{16}{5} = \frac{46}{5}

solution is ( - \frac{8}{5}, \frac{46}{5} )

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4
Anika [276]
Solve your equation step-by-step.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4


Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4

Simplify:

3x+3=−2x−2

Add 2x to both sides.

3x+3+2x=−2x−2+2x

5x+3=−2

Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x+3−3=−2−3

5x=−5

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = −5/5

x=−1
