Answer:

 6 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the number of ratio units is 5-3 = 2. This corresponds to an original difference of 2+2 = 4, so each ratio unit represents 2 pieces of fruit.

The original ratio is ...

  6 pears : 10 apples

There were 6 pears in the basket.

Am I correct?? If not please correct me

The answer would actually be A
F(x)=3x^2+4x
G(x)=2x^2-x+1
The two x^2 items are both positive and are added together to be 5x^2
The two x items would be added together to get 3x cause of the -x
Then +1 is just +1
Making the equation 5x^2+3x+1
If we were subtracting you would be absolutely correct, but since we are adding would go the opposite direction.
I hope this helps!

The perimeter of the triangle shown on the right is 369 feet.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

^two dimentional figure with algebra^

the perimwter from triangle is:

s1 + s2 + s3

ok, enter:

s1 + s2 + s3= 369

x + (8x -5) + 2x = 369

x + 8x - 5 + 2x = 369

group according to the same variable

(x + 8x + 2x) + (-5)=369

11x + (-5)=369

11x - 5= 369

11x = 369 + 5

11x =374

x =374 : 11

x = 34

ok, subtituted:

s1= x

=34 feet

s2= 8x - 5

=8(34) - 5

=272 - 5

=267 feet

s3= 2x

=2(34)

=68 feet

I need a lot of help with practice problems, I am not understanding math right now. Please help!!!!!! Will give brainliest!!
34kurt

Answer:

1. 18 (sqrt21 - sqrt2a)

2. 3

3. x^m/n

4. (5x^4√10)/(√2x)

5. x = -2 or -6

6. x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1

3^3sqrt21 - 6^3sqrt2a

3 * 6 * sqrt21 - sqrt2a

18 (sqrt21 - sqrt2a)

Number 2

3^1/2 * 3^1/2 =

3^1/2+1/2 =

3^1 =

3

Number 3

^nsqrtx^m =

x^m/n

Number 4

(√250x^16)/(√2x) =

(√25 * 10 * x^16)/√(2x )=

(5x^4√10)/(√2x)

Number 5

√2x + 13 - 5 = x

√2x + 13 = x + 5

square both side to take away the sqrt sign

(√2x + 13)^2 = (x + 5)^2

expand the equation on the RHS

2x + 13 = x(x+5) + 5(x+5)

2x+13 = x^2 + 10x +25

substract 13 from both sides

2x = x^s + 10x +12

subtract 2x from both sides

0 = x^2 +8x + 12

Factorize equation

x^2 + 6x +2x + 12 = 0

x(x+6) + 2(x+6) = 0

(x+2)(x+6) = 0

x = -2 or -6

Number 6

3 ^5sqrt(x+2)^3 + 3 = 27

subtract 3 from both sides

3 ^5sqrt(x+2)^3  = 27 - 3

3 ^5sqrt(x+2)^3  = 24

divide through by 3

^5sqrt(x+2)^3  = 8

square both sides by 5 to take away the 5th root sign

(x+2)^3  = (8)^5

(x+2)^3  = 32,768

take the cube root of both sides to take away the ^3

x+2 = ^3sqrt 32,768

x+2 = 32

x = 32 - 2

x = 30
