Answer:

The cost per kilogram of the apples is £1.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, x denotes the cost of the apples per kilogram, and y denotes the cost of the pears per kilogram.

Based on the information given:

Julie purchases 2 kilograms of apples and 7 kilograms of pears for a total of £12.70.

⇒2x+7y = 12.70....[1]

It is specified that pears are priced at £1.30 per kilogram

⇒y = £1.30

Substituting into [1] yields;

⇒2x+7 \cdot 1.30 = 12.70

⇒2x+9.10= 12.70

By removing 9.10 from both sides, we get;

⇒2x= 3.60

Dividing both sides results in;

x = £1.80

Thus, the cost per kilogram of the apples is £1.80.

Multiply 1.3 by 2, then deduct 12.7, and after that, divide the result by 7.

Explain two ways you could solve 20 = 5(-3 + x)
Leona [12618]

Answer:

The solution to your inquiry can be found below

Step-by-step explanation:

First method

                      20 = 5(-3 + x)                   expanding this equation

                     20 = -15 + 5x                    combine like terms

                     5x = 20 + 15

                     5x = 35                            dividing by 5

                     5x/5 = 35/5

                     x = 7

Second method

                     20/5 = 5/5 (-3 + x)          divide both sides by 5

                     4  = -3 + x                        adding 3 to both sides

                     4 + 3 = -3 + 3 + x            simplifying

                     7 = x

Find the standard deviation of the following data. Answers are rounded to the nearest tenth. 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56
Inessa [12570]

Response:

24.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Detailed breakdown:

The data type involved is ungrouped

standard deviation =√ [∑ (x-μ)² / n]

average (μ)=∑x/n

           = \frac{5+5+6+12+13+26+37+49+51+56+56+84}{12}

          =33.3

For the values 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56, 56, 84, the x-μ results will be

                   -28.3, -28.3, -27.3, -21.3, -7.3, 3.7, 15.7,17.7, 22.7,22.7,50.7

Calculating (x-μ)² gives: 800.89, 800.89, 745.29, 453.69, 53.29, 13.69, 246.49, 313.29, 515.29, 515.29, 2570.49

Then, ∑ (x-μ)² results in = 7028.59

Thus, standard deviation = √(7028.59 / 12)

                      =24.2

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry at x = –3.5 and a zero at –9. What is the distance from the given zero to the line o
Svet_ta [12734]

Given:

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry positioned at x = –3.5 with one root located at –9.

To find:

The second root.

Solution:

It is understood that the line of symmetry splits the quadratic function's graph into two identical halves. Hence, both roots are equidistant from this line.

This implies that the line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the two roots.

Let the other root be denoted as x.

-3.5=\dfrac{(-9)+x}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2.

-7=-9+x

Add 9 to both sides.

-7+9=-9+x+9

2=x

Consequently, the other zero of the quadratic function is concluded to be 2.
