Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).

Answer:  A. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00

1:  17.50+4p=  Nothing further can be done with this topic. Please check the expression entered or try another topic.

17.5 + 4 p

2:  4p=53.50-17.50=  4p=53.50-17.50

Step-by-step explanation:  9

The total bill: $53.50

17.50 + 4 x = 53.50

4 x = 53.50 - 17.50

4 x = 36

x = 36 : 4

x = $9

Answer: The price of each shrub is $9.

...............................................................................................................................................

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let   be the price of each shrub.

4 shrubs at    each costs    dollars

Potting soil is $17.50

Hence, total cost is the expression  

We know that total bill is $53.50, so we can equate it to the expression:

This equation can be solved for    to find cost of each shrub.

Solving for    gives us:

So price of each shrub is $9

Solve equation. Verify answer 14=-2w
notka56 [123]

Answer:

w = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Divide -2 from both sides:

(14)/-2 = (-2w)/-2

(14)/-2 = w

Note that when you are dividing:

  • 1 negative & 1 positive sign will result in a negative answer
  • 2 negative sign will result in a positive
  • 2 positive sign will result in a positive

In this case:

(14)/-2 = -7

-7 is your answer for w.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=2x+3 and passes through the point (-2,1)
Lerok [7]

Answer:

y= 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient. Hence m=2.

Subst. m=2 into the equation:

y=2x +c

Now substitute a coordinate.

When x= -2, y=1,

1= 2(-2) +c

1= -4 +c

c= 1 +4

c=5

Thus, the equation of the line is y= 2x +5.
