Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The rule to know and follow is:
You can add, subtract, multiply or divide by anything so long as the same thing is done to both sides of the equals sign;
5a + b = 14
If we want to get: "a = ...", then we use the rule to isolate the variable a on one side of the equation;
Firstly, we subtract b from both sides:
5a + b - b = 14 - b
5a = 14 - b
Then, divide both sides by 5:

Answer:
Shopper spend $3 on Apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x
Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5)
Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)
A shopper purchases one pound each of apples, grapes, and oranges and spends $10.50.
It can be written as: 
We need to find how much the shopper spend on each fruit.
First we need to find value of x by solving equation

Solving:

The value of x is: x=1.5
Now finding cost of one pound each fruit by putting x=1.5
Cost of one pound of Apple = $2x = 2(1.5) = $3
Cost of one pound of Grapes = $(6x-5) = (6(1.5)-5)= $4
Cost of one pound of Oranges = $(x+2)=(1.5+2)=$3.5
So,
Cost of one pound of Apple = $3
Cost of one pound of Grapes = $4
Cost of one pound of Oranges = $3.5
So, shopper spend $3 on apples, $4 on Grapes and $3.5 on Oranges
Answer:
x = 2sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve
The legs are x and 8/2 =4
and the hypotenuse is 6
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 +4^2 = 6^2
x^2 +16 = 36
Subtract 16 from each side
x^2 +16-16=36-16
x^2 = 20
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(20)
x = sqrt(4*5)
x = sqrt(4) sqrt(5)
x = 2sqrt(5)
So legnt=l
width=w
l=-7+3w
l=3w-7
area=66
area=legnth times width or
area=lw
subisutte
area=lw
l=3w-7
66=(3w-7)(w)
66=3w^2-7w
subtrac 66 from both sides
0=3w^2-7w-66
factor
HOW TO
multiply 3 and -66=-198
find what 2 numbers add up to -7 and multiply to get -198
the numbers area 11 and -18
so
3w^2-18w+11w-66=0
factor
(3w^2-18w)+(11w-66)=0
(3w)(w-6)+(11)(w-6)=0
factor using distributive (ab+ac=a(b+c))
(3w+11)(w-6)=0
set them to zero
3w+11=0
subtract 11
3w=-11
legnths cannot be negative so we discard this
w-6=0
add 6
w=6
width=6
legnth=3w-7
length=3(6)-7
legnt=18-7
legnth=11
width=6
legnth=11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x < -12, so x+12 < 0
| x-(-12) | = | x+12 | = -x-12
