<span>3/4x - 4/5 = 1/2x + 1
</span>3/4x - 4/5 = 2/4x + 1
3/4x - 2/4x = 1 + 4/5
1/4x = 9/5
x = (9x4) / (5x1)
x = 36/5
x = 7 1/5
Yes because if you find common denominators (in this case, "10") you would have to compare 8/10 to 5/10. 8>5 so 8/10 is longer than 1/2.
Answer:
Part A:
c = .86*p
c =1.72 for 2 lbs
Part B:
c =.81p
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .86*p
Let p = 2
c = .86*2
c =1.72
Part B:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .(.86-.05)*p
c =.81p
X=1/2-3y/4
and
x=10/3+2y/3
