Now let’s evaluate this down if b=3 then you do 3x3 because b is squared which equals 9 then we do 6b which is 18, so 9-18 is (-9) then we do -9 - 5 which is -14
Answer:
3 nickels and 5 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of nickels
q = number of quarters
q = n+2
.25q + .05n = 1.40
Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation
.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40
Distribute
.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40
Combine like terms
.30n +.5 = 1.40
Subtract .5 from each side
.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4
.3n = .9
Divide by .3
.3n/.3 = .9/.3
n = 3
q = n+2
q=5
From what I learnt so far, there are 3 possible ways of finding whether ratios form a proportion
Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange
a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple
</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span>
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.
Answer: 28
the cost of 7 diaries is 28
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to find out the cost of one diary by dividing 12 by 3, that will give us 4, and then the last step is multiplying 4 by 7.
