The ratio of the number of pears to the number of oranges in a basket
is 5:3. The rest of the fruits are apples. There are 54 more pears than
oranges and 3 more apples than oranges.
(a) How many pears are there in the basket?
(b) What percentage of the fruits are apples?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a)  135

  (b) 28%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write equations relating pears to oranges, solve them, and then find the number of apples. Let p, o, and 'a' represent the numbers of pears, apples, and oranges.

  p/o = 5/3 . . . . . the ratio of pears to oranges is 5:3

  p -o = 54 . . . . . there are 54 more pears than oranges

  a -o = 3 . . . . . .  there are 3 more apples than oranges

__

a)

Multiply the first equation by 3/5o to get ...

  3/5p = o

Substitute that into the second equation:

  p -(3/5)p = 54

  2/5p = 54 . . . . . . simplify

  p = 54(5/2) = 135 . . . . multiply by 5/2 to get the number of pears

There are 135 pears in the basket.

__

b)

  a = 3 +o = 3 +3/5p = 3 +3/5(135) = 3 +81 . . . . solve for the number of apples

  a = 84

The percentage of fruits that are apples is ...

  apples/total = 84/(135 +81 +84) = 84/300 = 28/100 = 28%

  28% of the fruits are apples

What will be the total cost of Maria's ARM if the term of the loan were 25 or 20 years instead of 30? Use the variable rate loan calculator to find the answers. Write them in the spaces below.

Mortgage Term | Total Cost
25 years: |
20 years: |​

Answers

Answer:

The total cost of the loan goes down as the term decreases. Although the amount of the loan itself remains the same, the total amount of interest Maria would have to pay in interest decreased when the term of the loan decreased. However, the monthly payments increased when the term decreased. So, a shorter term saves interest but requires greater monthly payments.

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, (3x + 8)° and 35° are vertically opposite angles which are equal, therefore,

3x + 8 = 35

3x = 35 - 8

3x = 27

x = 27/3

what is the coefficient in the expression below 2x-8​

Answers

Answer:

2x - 8

Parts of an equation:

2 - coefficient

x - variable

8 - constant

The number 2 is not a coefficient in the expression. FALSE.

The expression has three terms. FALSE. two terms only: 2x & 8

The variable in the expression is x. TRUE

The number 2 is a constant in the expression. FALSE

The expression has one variable term. FALSE. 2x is term but it's a combination of a number and a letter. Variable term is letter only.

Hello.

The coefficient is the number before a variable (letter)

The constant is also a number.

What's the difference between a constant and a coefficient?

Well, a coefficient is always before a variable, and a constant is just a number (without any variables next to it)

In this case, the variable is x, the number before x is 2, and 8 is the constant.

Therefore, 2 is the coefficient in this expression.

I hope it helps.

the measure of one interior angle of a triangle is 45°. What can you conclude about the other two interior angles of the triangle?
One of the other angles must be a right angle.
The sum of the measures of the other two angles is 135°.
The other two angles must be acute angles.
One of the other angles must have a measure greater than 90°.

Answers

Answer:

The sum of the measures of the other two angles is 135°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle will add up to 180°. So by subtracting 45° from 180°, the other two angles have to add up to 135°.

Answer:

width = 9/2 inches, length = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = width

l×w = 81 in²

l = 2w + 9

we can use the identity of the second equation in the first equation :

(2w + 9)×w = 81

2w² + 9w = 81

2w² + 9w - 81 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = w

a = 2

b = 9

c = -81

w = (-9 ± sqrt(9² - 4×2×-81))/(2×2) =

= (-9 ± sqrt(81 + 648))/4 =

= (-9 ± sqrt(729))/4 = (-9 ± 27)/4

w1 = (-9 + 27)/4 = 18/4 = 9/2 in

w2 = (-9 - 27)/4 = -36/4 = -9

a negative solution for a side length does not make any sense, so, width = 9/2 in is the only valid solution.

l = 2w + 9 = 2×9/2 + 9 = 9+9 = 18 in

so, the last answer option is correct.

Given,

Area of the Square = ( x² - 10x + 25 ) m²

We have to find: Length of the side of the square.

Let s be the side of square.

We find length of side of the by using factorization.

According to the question,

s² = x² - 10x + 25

s² = x² - 5x - 5x + 25

s² = x( x - 5 ) - 5( x - 5 )

s² = ( x - 5 )( x - 5 )

s² = ( x - 5 )²

Taking square root on both sides we get,

s = x - 5

Therefore, Expression that represents the length of one side of the square is x - 5.

Solve the system of equations using subtraction.
2x−4y=−4
2x+ y =11

Answers

2x-4y=-4 —> x=-2 y=1
2x +y=11 —> x= 5.5 y=11

Answer:

(4, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = - 4 → (1)

2x + y = 11 → (2)

subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate x

(2x - 2x) + (- 4y - y) = - 4 - 11

0 - 5y = - 15

- 5y = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

y = 3

substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (2)

2x + 3 = 11 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

solution is (4, 3 )
