1. two pieces of equipment were purchased for a total of $4000. if one piece cost $850 more fean
the other, find the price of the less expensive piece of equipment. assume all data ze 2002
to two significant agits unless grezier 20curacy is given

$1,575

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the cost of the less expensive piece of equipment

x+850 = the cost of the more expensive piece of equipment

x + (x+850) = 4,000 the.     two pieces together cost 4,000, so I added up the cost of the less expensive piece and the more expensive piece, and equaled it to 4,000

solve the equation:

x + (x+850) = 4,000

2x+850=4,000

2x=3,150

÷2

x=1,575

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
