B=blue
g=green
r=red
2 times as many blue as green
b=2g
3 times as many red as blue
r=3b
subsitute 2g for b
r=3(2g)=6g
r=6g
r+g+b=765
so we subsitute
r=6g
g=g
b=2g
6g+g+2g=765
add like terms
9g=765
divide both sides by 9
g=85
subsitute
b=2b
b=2(85)
b=170
170 blue
By solving a system of equations, we will see that now there are 3.5kg of grapes on the basket.
<h3>How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?</h3>
Let's define the variables:
- x = kg of grapes on the box originally.
- y = kg of grapes on the basket originally.
We know that:
x = 2y
When we add 2kg to the basket, it has 0.5k more than the box, then:
y + 2 = x + 0.5
Then we have a system of equations:
x = 2y
y + 2 = x + 0.5
We want to solve this for y, then we can replace the first equation into the second one:
y + 2 = (x = 2y) + 0.5
y + 2 = 2y + 0.5
2 - 0.5 = 2y - y
1.5 = y
This means that, originally, there are 1.5 kg of grapes on the basket. And then we added 2kg, so now there are:
1.5kg + 2kg = 3.5kg

Answer:
x < -5 or x > 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x < -5 or x > 5
or can be written {x : x < -5 U x > 5} depending on which notation you use
