Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches
we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb
amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
Answer:
-21/22
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Apply fraction cross multiply
2. Simplify
3.Expand
4.Subtract 24 from both sides
5.simplify
6. Subtract 18x form both sides
7.Simpiify, then divide both sides by -22to get answer.
Answer:
2(x+5) = 2x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+5)
= 2*x + 2*5
= 2x+10
14 trout out of 50 total fish. The total amount of fish in the lake is 7500. Let’s make this into a proportion.
14/50=x/7500
x represents how much trout is in the lake, we don’t know yet, but we’ll find out.
First, cross multiply.
14*7500=105000
50*x=50x
Now let’s turn this into an equation.
50x=105000
Divide both sides by 50
50x/50=x
105000/50=2100
x=2100
Out of the 7500 fish in the lake, 2100 were trouts.
