Answer:
not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Setup
0.8x + 0.4y = 50
0.1x + 0.2y = 10 - Multiply by -2 and add
get
0.6x = 30
x = 50 mg compound A
.1 (50) + .2y = 10
5 + .2y = 10
.2y = 5
y = 25 mg compound B
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:

And we want to find out which of the answer choices is <em>not</em> equivalent.
Thus, let's go through each of the choices.
A)
We have:

This is correct.
Our original equation can be written as:

And if we multiply straight across:

We'll get choice A. So choice A is correct.
B)
We have:

This is also correct.
From our original equation:

If we multiply the first term together:

We'll get choice B. So, choice B is correct.
C)
We have:

This is correct as well.
If we reduce 1/2 to decimal form and add the operations within the parentheses in the original equation, we will get:

So, C is also correct.
D)
We have:

Note that this is not correct.
This attempted to use the distributive property. However, the distribute property does <em>not work</em> for multiplication. For instance:

However:

So, choice D is not equivalent.
So choice D is our answer :)
If we evaluate it, we will get 30, in contrast to the 60 of the others.
it is the cube root of 1/8
which is equal to 1/2
which implies that option (c) 0.5
She could have taken the price and number of pounds and divided the price by two until she had the price for one of oranges. that is all i know, i hope it helps.
