Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8

start by getting all like terms to the same side

subtract 0.8 x from both sides, add 10 to both sides

0.5x = 2

divide both sides by 0.5

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8

Add 10 to both sides.

1.3x = 0.8x + 2

Subtract 0.8x from both sides.

0.5x = 2

Divide by 0.5.

x = 4.

Proof:

1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8

1.3(4) - 10 = 0.8(4) - 8

5.2 - 10 = 3.2 - 8

-4.8 = -4.8

Mike has 21 pounds of tomatoes and 9 pounds of mixed peppers from his garden that he will use to make sals.

Grace [21]

The number of batches of salsa that can be made = x = 6 batches

The number of bat tomato sauce that can be made = y = 3 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the system of equations:

$x+5y=21\\x+y=9$

where variable x represents the number of batches of salsa that can be made and y represents the number of bat tomato sauce that can be made.

We need to solve the systems to find the values of x and y.

Let:

$x+5y=21\,\,\,eq(1)\\x+y=9\,\,\,eq(2)$

Subtract both equations:

$x+5y=21\\x+y=9\\-\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,-\\------\\4y=12\\y=\frac{12}{4}\\y=3$

So, value of y=3

Putting value of y in eq(2) and finding value of x:

$x+y=9\\x+3=9\\x=9-3\\x=6$

So, value of x=6

The number of batches of salsa that can be made = x = 6 batches

The number of bat tomato sauce that can be made = y = 3 batches

Pls answer this <br><br><br> 5 and _____ are reciprocal numbers.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal just means flipped you can put any whole number over 1 if it helps to see that

5/1 = 5

Since reciprocal is asking you to flip 5/1 meaning numerator becomes denominator and vice versa you end up with 1/5 being the reciprocal of 5

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$104,710.29

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount is given by ...

A = Pe^(rt)

where P is the principal invested at annual rate r for t years. Filling in the numbers, we get ...

A = 30000e^(.05·25) = 30000e^1.25 ≈ 104,710.29

The balance will be about $104,710.29 on the child's 25th birthday.
