increased price = original price x (2 + increase percentage)

Increased price = 4 x 1.24

Increased price = $4.96

Answer:

The current price of a pound of strawberries is $4.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, they cost $4.

This week, they cost ($4) plus (24% of $4).

We know that 24% can also be written as 0.24

So 24% of $4 is

0.24 x $4 = $0.96

Since we want to find ($4) plus (24% of $4)

$4 + $0.96 = $4.96

So $4.96 is the final answer.

Answer:

The given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$

We have to reduce the fraction to the lowest terms.

Consider numerator $x^3-x^2$

We can take x² common from both the term,

Thus, numerator can be written as $x^2(x-1)$

Given expression can be rewritten as ,

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}$

We can now cancel $x^2$ from both numerator and denominator,

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}=\frac{x-1}{x}$

Thus, the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$

Help me with this one please

lesya [120]

For me, it’s easiest when i distribute the negative sign if i need to and then reorder to put the like terms together. and then solve.
(also sorry if it’s a little confusing with all the parentheses, i use them because it helps me organize everything)

21. (4x-9y) + (6x+10) + (8y-4)
= 4x + 6x - 9y + 8y + 10 - 4
= 10x - y + 6
—> D

22. (6x+9y-15) + (2x-9y+8)
= 6x + 2x + 9y - 9y - 15 + 8 (the 9y - 9y = 0, so you can leave it out of the final equation)
= 8x - 7
—> D

23. (9x^2-8x+3) - (5x^2-6x+4)
= 9x^2 - 8x + 3 - 5x^2 -(-6x) - 4
= 9x^2 - 5x^2 - 8x + 6x + 3 - 4 (remember that two - signs next to each other make a + sign)
= 4x^2 - 2x - 1
—> A

24. (9x^3-7x+8) - (5x^2+7x-10)
= 9x^3 - 7x + 8 - 5x^2 - 7x -(-10)
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x - 7x + 8 + 10
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 18
—> D

25. (6x+14y) - ((7x+5y) + (x-8y))
= (6x+14y) - (7x + x + 5y - 8y)
= (6x+14y) - (8x-3y)
= 6x + 14y - 8x -(-3y)
= 6x - 8x + 14y + 3y
= -2x + 17y

How to solve 2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5

Aliun [14]

Answer:

2(x + y)² - 9( x + y ) -5 = 0

⇒2(x + y)² - 10 (x+y) +1(x+y) -5 = 0

⇒2(x+y)(x + y - 5 ) + 1(x + y -5 ) = 0

taking (x + y -5 ) common ,

⇒(x + y -5 )[2(x + y) + 1] =0

⇒(x + y -5)(2x + 2y +1) =0

hope , you got this
