there were 7 little cherries for every 2 big cherries. if there were 630 cherries in the box, how many little cherries were there? (please also answer the question in the picture)

1)2205little cherries

2)0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)7little=2big

?=630big

7×630=2205little cherries

2)²/5x=¹/10what is the value of 10x-2

first find the value of x that is ¹/10÷²/5=¼

so x is ¼

insert the value ie 10×¼-2

=2.5-2

=0.5

linear pair postulates

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
