Answer:

2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you have to simplify the expression.

Solve:

(3х - 5) - (5х + 1)

Distribute the negative sign the variables inside the parenthesis.

3x - 5 - 5x - 1

Combine like terms.

3x - 5 - 5x - 1

-2x - 5 - 1

-2x - 6

Your final answer would be -2x - 6

Ashley sells 18.6 kg bags of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts. To make her product she adds peanuts to Brand A's mixed nuts w

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

She combines 9.3 kg of each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of brand A in kg

Let y = amount of peanuts in kg

First we deal with the amount of each product she uses.

"Ashley sells 18.6 kg bags of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts."

x + y = 18.6

Now we deal with just the amount of peanuts.

"To make her product she adds peanuts to Brand A's mixed nuts which contain 20% peanuts."

Brand A contains 20% peanuts, so x kg of brand A contains 0.2x kg of peanuts.

The peanuts she adds are pure peanuts, so all of y is peanuts.

The result is 18.6 kg of a mixture that is 60% peanuts, so the amount of peanuts in the bags she sells is 0.6 * 18.6 kg.

0.2x + y = 0.6 * 18.6

0.2x + y = 11.16

We have a system of equations:

x + y = 18.6

0.2x + y = 11.16

We have y in both equations, so let's subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate y.

0.8x = 7.44

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 9.3

Plug in 9.3 for x in the first equation of the system and solve for y.

x + y = 18.6

9.3 + y = 18.6

y = 9.3

Answer: She combines 9.3 kg of each.

A fish was swimming LaTeX: 2\frac{1}{2}2 1 2 feet below the water's surface at 1:00 p.M. Three hours later, the fish was at a de

marin [14]

Answer:

$\frac{23}{4}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ feet

= $\frac{5}{2}$ feet

The depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm = 3 $\frac{1}{4}$ feet

= $\frac{13}{4}$ feet

The position of the fish with respect to the water's surface at 4:00 pm = the depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm + the depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm

= $\frac{5}{2}$ + $\frac{13}{4}$

= $\frac{10 + 13}{4}$

= $\frac{23}{4}$

The position of the fish with respect to the water's surface at 4:00 pm is $\frac{23}{4}$ feet.

This box can be packed with 48 units cubes. The edge length of each unit cube is 1 meter. What is the volume of the box?

Dafna1 [17]

48 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has equal length width and height

A cube in this case has length 1m meaning the width and height are also 1 m each in length.

The volume of the cube is (L * W * H) = 1 * 1 * 1 = 1 m³

If 48 of these can fit in the bigger box, then the bigger box has the volume of;

48 * 1 m³ = 48 m³
