one Brian's item cost: x
one Chris' item cost: x+2.5
Set up equation:
Brians amount = Chris amount
4*x = 3*(x+2.5)
solve for x:
4x = 3x + 7.5
x = 7.5
Brian's items cost $7.5 each.
Check:
Brian paid 4*7.5 = $30
Chris paid 3*10 = $30
The individual cost of Brian's items was $7.50, and the indiv. cost of Chris' items was $10.
Answer:
The only shape you can make is a parallelogram. If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then it's a parallelogram (converse of a property). If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it's a parallelogram (converse of a property).
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-17/14
Step-by-step explanation:
To subtract fractions, you must have a common denominator. If that is not given, you make it.
You do so buy finding the LCM of denominators:
LCM of 7 and 2 = 14
Now, here you have multiplied the denominators either by 7 or 2. You do the same for the respective numerators:
2x2/14 - 3x7/14 = 4/14 - 21/14.
Now that you have the same denominator, subtract the numerators:
4-21 = - 17
Put it back as a fraction : -17/14
hope this helps.
The top part is -2(x-1). You have to factor out -2 from the expression. I don't know the second part, Sorry!
