Answer:
- The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
- The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
- Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...
2p = n
Then the solution is ...
6p +3(2p) = 18
12p = 18
p = 18/12 = 1.50
n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00
__
The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
Answer:
-114
Step-by-step explanation:
Potatoes cost $1.20 / kg. If you buy 0.8 kg, how much are the potatoes? (Answer $0.96)
16=8
first you need to get rid of the parenthesis by doing distributive property which gives you -4x+16=8-4x next you cancel equal terms which is -4x so then you get
16=8 btw the equation would be false
2 divided by 1/2
2 x 2/1 = 4
3/4 x 4/1 = 12/3
12/3 = 4
