you add both on each side then subtract 2 from you anser
Answer:
- The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
- The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
- Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...
2p = n
Then the solution is ...
6p +3(2p) = 18
12p = 18
p = 18/12 = 1.50
n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00
__
The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Answer:
{2 , 4} is the answer of this question.
Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
They are vertical angles; so angles are congruent
*<em>Vertical angles are always congruent*</em>
<em>Congruent means equal or same.</em>
1) Since they are congruent, you form an equation.
<h2>
145 = 2x + 15</h2>
2) Solve by subtracting 15 from both sides.
<h2>
145 = 2x + 15</h2><h2>
- 15 -15</h2><h2>
----------------------</h2><h2>
130 = 2x</h2>
3) Solve by dividing 2 from both sides
<h2>
130/2 = 2x/2</h2>
4) Simplify
x = 65
Answer:
480/(x+60) ≤ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relations ...
time = distance/speed
distance = speed×time
speed = distance/time
to write the required inequality any of several ways.
Since the problem is posed in terms of time (7 hours) and an increase in speed (x), we can write the time inequality as ...
480/(60+x) ≤ 7
Multiplying this by the denominator gives us a distance inequality:
7(60+x) ≥ 480 . . . . . . at his desired speed, Neil will go no less than 480 miles in 7 hours
Or, we can write an inequality for the increase in speed directly:
480/7 -60 ≤ x . . . . . . x is at least the difference between the speed of 480 miles in 7 hours and the speed of 60 miles per hour
___
Any of the above inequalities will give the desired value of x.
