Step-by-step explanation:

x = mass of apples

y = mass of strawberries

z = mass of the box

x = 3y

x + z = 16240

y + z = 6350

let's subtract the second from the first equation

x + z = 16240

- y + z = 6350

-----------------------

x - y + 0 = 9890

using the first identity in that result gives us

3y - y = 9890

2y = 9890

y = 4,945 g

x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples

15 decreased by twice a number x in algebriac expression
postnew [5]
2x - 15

15 is decreased that is the key word here which indicates subtraction.

twice a number with given variable x is 2x

subtraction always goes behind so 2x - 15

Consider the following statement: The square of a prime number is not prime. (a) Write this as an if-then statement, using caref
Hitman42 [59]

The square of a prime number is not prime.

a) let x ∈ R, If x  ∈ {prime numbers}, then x^{2}∉{prime numbers}

there says that if x is a real and x is in the set of the prime numbers, then the square of x isn't in the set of prime numbers.

b) Prove or disprove the statement.

ok, if x is a prime number, then x only can be divided by himself. Now is easy to see that x^{2} = x*x can be divided by himself and x, then x*x is not a prime number, because can be divided by another number different than himself
