Answer:

There are 1,360 pears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are P pears and A apples.

We know that:

"If 20 apples and 60 pears are sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold."

Suppose that all of these are sold after N hours, then:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

We also know that:

"if 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold."

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

Then we have four equations:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

From the first one and the second one, we get:

20*N = A = 20*N = P - 400

A = P - 400

Now we have 3 equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

A = P - 400

Now we can just replace the third equation into the second one, then we get:

60*N = A = P - 400

Now we have two equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = P - 400

Now, remember that we want to find the number of pears, so we want to find the value of P.

To do it, we can take the quotient of the two equations, so we get:

(80*N)/(60*N) = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

8/6 = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

Now we can solve this for P

(8/6)*(P - 400) = P - 80

(8/6)*P - (8/6)*400 = P - 80

(8/6)*P - P = (8/6)*400 - 80

(2/6)*P = (8/6)*400 - 80

P = (6/2)*( (8/6)*400 - 80 )

P = 3*( (8/6)*400 - 80 ) = 1,360

There are 1,360 pears.

Which interval is the solution set to 0.35x - 4.8 < 5.2 -0.9x?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:  (-\infty, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following inequality:

0.35x - 4.8 < 5.2 -0.9x

You need to solve for "x" in order to find the solution.

The steps are:

1. Add 0.9x to both sides of the inequality:

0.35x - 4.8+0.9x < 5.2 -0.9x+0.9x\\\\1.25x-4.8

2. Add 4.8 to both sides:

1.25x-4.8+4.8

3. Divide both sides by 1.25:

\frac{1.25x}{1.25}

Notice that "x" is  less than 8. This indicates that 8 is not included in the solution and you must use parentheses.

The solution in Interval notation is:

(-\infty, 8)

∠K and ∠L are complementary angles. If m∠K = 3x + 3 and m∠L = 10x – 4, find the measures of both angles.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

∠K =24

∠L =66

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find X in order to solve.

since they are Complementary they add together to equal 90 degrees

so we can set them equal to 90

13x-1=90

13x=91

x=7

now we can plug them in!

---

∠K = 3(7)+3 = 24

∠L =10(7)-4=66

Yuri [45]

Answer:

first method

<u>2</u><u>2</u>=<u>5</u>

7. x

we cross multiply to get

<u>2</u><u>2</u><u>x</u>= <u>5</u><u>×</u><u>7</u>

22. 22.

x= <u>3</u><u>5</u>

22

=1.59

second method

<u>2</u><u>2</u>=<u>5</u>

7. x

we multiply the denominators to get 7x

then we multiply each term by 7x

7x×<u>2</u><u>2</u> = <u>5</u>×7x

7. x

here the 7 and 7 will cancel out and the x and x will cancel out to get

<u>2</u><u>2</u><u>x</u>= <u>3</u><u>5</u>

22. 22

= 1.59
