Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides 5x - 3 and 3x + 1 are the same length, so you can put an equal sign: 5x - 3 = 3x + 1, x = 2:

5(2) - 3 = 3(2) + 1

10 - 3 = 6 + 1

7 = 7

So x is 2

Question 7 not answered which set of numbers with a difference of 2 is a factor pair of 48? answer choices 2 and 4 4 and 6 6 and

ehidna [41]

Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is find the difference between the numbers in each factor pair and make sure the factors combine to give 48.

2 and 4 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 2·4 ≠ 48

4 and 6 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 4·6 ≠ 48

6 and 8 . . . . . have a difference of 2, and 6·8 = 48

24 and 2 . . . . do not have a difference of 2

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=9\dfrac{1}{2}$

So Kimane and his friend still need to get $9\dfrac{1}{2}$ more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.

250 = 167.93 + x

[She needs $250, she has $167.93, and she needs x more. x represents the amount of money she still needs in order to get 250]

250 = 167.93 + x Subtract 167.93 on both sides

250 - 167.93 = 167.93 + x - 167.93

250 - 167.93 = x

82.07 = x

She needs $82.07 more

Or you could have done:

250 - 167.93 = 82.07

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

x = 1; y = 1; z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem:

First equation minus second equation: 3y + 2z = 3 Eq. A

Second equation plus third equation: 2y + 4z = 2 Eq. B

-2 times Eq. A plus Eq. B: -4y = -4

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in Eq. A: 3 + 2z = 3

2z = 0

z = 0

Substitute z = 0 and y = 1 in original first equation:

-2x + 2 + 0 = 0

-2x = -2

x = 1

Answer: x = 1; y = 1; z = 0
