Answer:

Let bags of pecans cost = x

Make an equation :

Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)

Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)

Cost for pecans = 3x

Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15

Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost

Solve for x:

3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)

3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)

8x + 15 = 55

8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)

8x = 40

8x/8 = 40/8

x = 5

bags pecans cost is $5

bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8

How do I figure out what 1/10 of 6000 is?
alisha [4.7K]
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,

1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)

Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.

So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

True or False?In Exercise,determine whether the statement is true or false given that f(x) = In x.if it is false,explain why or
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

f(x) = \text{In } x

The given statement is

f(x - 2) = f(x) - f(2), x > 2

Putting the values on the right side of the given statement

f(x-2)\\=\text{ln }(x-2) \neq \text{ln }x - \text{ln }2

Thus, the given statement is false.

This can be explained with the help of an example:

For x = 3

f(x-2) = f(3-2) = f(1)\\=\text{ln }1 = 0\\f(x)-f(2)\\=\text{ln }3-\text{ln }2 \\=0.4054
