5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4
what does the x equal ?

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4

Multiply each side by 8 to clear the fractions

8(5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4)

5x - 44 = 6

Add 44 to each side

5x-44+4= 6+4

5x= 50

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 50/5

x =10

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.

whats the question?
