Answer:

  $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables A, B, C, D represent a sack of apples, a bunch of bananas, a cantaloupe, and a carton of dates, respectively. Then the problem statement gives rise to 3 equations:

  A +B +C +D = 20

  D = 2A

  C = A -B

Substituting the last two equations into the first gives ...

  A +B + (A -B) +2A = 20

  4A = 20 . . . simplify

  A = 5 . . . . . divide by 4

Substituting this into the last equation, we have ...

  C = 5 -B

  B + C = 5 . . . . add B

The cost to purchase a bunch of bananas and a cantaloupe is $5.

Mike wants to save $1,750 in the next 12 months. He plans to save $150 each month for the first 11 months.
podryga [215]

Answer:

$1650

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question, we don't need the information that Mike wants to save 1750 in 12 months.

We just need to focus on how he is saving 150 every month, for 11 months.

150*11=1650

He will save $1650 if he saves $150 every month for 11 months.

Write the expression as a single term.<br> 3ln(x+2) - ln(x - 1)
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

ln  [(x + 2)^3 ]/(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3ln(x+2) - ln(x - 1) =  ln (x + 2)^3  -  ln (x-1)

ln (x + 2)^3  -  ln (x-1) =  ln  [(x + 2)^3 ]/(x-1)
