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.
Find f(-2) f(x)=9x^2-5x+2
f(-2) means replace x in the equation with -2:
f(-2)=9(-2)^2-5(-2)+2
= 9(4) +10 + 2
= 36 +10 + 2
= 48
f(-2) = 48

Answer:
The answer is x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If you set both equations equal to each other and solve for x, you will get 20.
3x+32 = 5x-8 add 8 to both sides
3x+40 = 5x subtract 3x from both sides
40 = 2x divide by 2 on both sides
20 = x
