Answer:

The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The potatoes are sold at a rate of $0.5 per potato.

1. Given Amanda can only spend $5 on potatoes at that price, she can buy at most $5 / 0.5 = 10 potatoes.

Amanda can buy at most 10 potatoes

2. Sam wants to buy 15 potatoes at that very same price. The cost of 15 potatoes is:

15 * $0.5 = $7.50

The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50

Which of the following equations is equivalent to x - y = 5?

Masja [62]

Answer:

$6x-6y=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete options are

a) x - 2y = 30

b) 4x - 3y = 30

c) 3x - 4y = 30

d) 6x - 6y = 30

The given equation is

$x-y=5$

Verify option d

we have

$6x-6y=30$

Divide by 6 both sides

$(6x-6y)/6=30/6$

$\frac{6x}{6}-\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{30}{6}$

$x-y=5$

therefore

$x-y=5$ and $6x-6y=30$ are equivalent

What is a simplified eCarlotta thinks that 3y + 5y3 is the same as 8y4. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?Xpression

stira [4]

Questions:

(a) What is a simplified expression for (x + y) – (x – y)?

(b) Carlotta thinks that $3y + 5y^3$ is the same as $8y^4$ . Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?

Answer:

$(x + y) - (x - y) =2y$

$3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

$(x + y) - (x - y)$

Required

Simplify

$(x + y) - (x - y)$

Open brackets

$(x + y) - (x - y) = x + y - x + y$

Collect Like Terms

$(x + y) - (x - y) = x - x+ y + y$

$(x + y) - (x - y) = y + y$

$(x + y) - (x - y) =2y$

Solving (b):

Given

$3y + 5y^3$ and $8y^4$

Required

Which expression shows they are not the same

The expression that shows this is:

$3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

Take for instance; y=2

Substitute 2 for y in $3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

$3*2 + 5*2^3 \ne 8*2^4$

Evaluate all exponents

$9 + 5*8 \ne 8*16$

$9 + 40 \ne 128$

$49 \ne 128$

The above expression supports $3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

Answer is given below with explanations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer is option 1) 85 : 51

$given \: that \: \\ triangle \: SPT \: is \: similar \: to \: triangle \: QPR \\ corresponding \: sides \: of \: similar \: \\ triangles \: are \: in \: proportion \\ then \: \\ \frac{SP}{ QP} = \frac{PT }{ PR} \\ \frac{3x}{3x + 24} = \frac{51}{85} \\ taking \: reciprocal \: on \: both \: sides \\ \frac{3x + 24}{3x} = \frac{85}{51}$

Option 1 is correct.
