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.

If the area of a park is exactly halfway between 2.4 and 2.5 acres what is the area of the park
Paul [167]
Get the distance between two acres.

2.5 - 2.4 = 0.1

Divide the diffence by 2
0.1 / 2 = 0.05 - Halfway between them.

Therefore, 0.05 must be taken from 2.5 acres. it must be added to 2.4 acres to get the exact area of the park.

2.5 - 0.05 = 2.45
2.4 + 0.04 = 2.45 acres

OR

Simply get the average of the two to get the area since it is exactly halfway between the two acres of land.

2.5 + 2.4 = 2.9 / 2 = 2.45 acres

What is the equation for 5 units left and 3 units up from f(x)=x
erastovalidia [21]

The new equation after shifting will be:

g(x) = (x+5)+3\\g(x) = x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Function trnafomations upward and left are defined as:

Upward:

f(x) => f(x)+b where b is an integer

Left:

f(x) => f(x+b) where b is an integers

Given function is:

f(x) = x

Shifting the function 5 units left

g(x) = f(x+5) => x+5\\g(x) = x+5

Shifting the function upward 2 units

So,

g(x) = (x+5)+3\\g(x) = x + 8

The new equation after shifting will be:

g(x) = (x+5)+3\\g(x) = x + 8
