Answer:
5/(3x+2) = 7/(5x-2)
<=>5*(5x-2) = 7*(3x+2) (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> 25x -10 = 21x +14 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> 4x = 24 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)
<=> x = 6 (valid)
That's impossible to say. The radius of a square is meaningless.
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace each x in the expression/equation with the given value. Then use order of operations to simplify and solve. There are some great videos out there explaining the concept.
For this case we propose a system of equations:
x: Let the variable representing the quantity of Granny Smith apples
y: Let the variable representing the number of Gala apples
According to the statement we have:

From the first equation we have to:

replacing in the second equation:

So, Carl bought 7 Gala apples
On the other hand:

So, Carl bought 12 Granny Smith apples
Answer:
Carl bought 7 Gala apples and 12 Granny Smith apples
