Thats a decimal. An improper fraction os when the numerator(number on the top) is larger than the denomenator(number on bottom)
Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.
Base charge of $17.32 per month.
This means that 
charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour
Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is 
Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.


Ok so she wants but 5 crates of apples. And each crate cost 12.50 so you would multi 12.50 times 5, which is 62.05. She so wants to buy one crate of pears. One crate of pairs is 18.75. Since she is only buying one you don't need to multiply it but anything. But now you have to figure out the cost of the apples and pears together. So just add 62.05 and 18.75 together which is 80.80
