Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.
Each pound of apple cost $1.50
This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be
6 × 1.5 = $9
The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is
9 - 2 = $7
If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be
x = 7/2
Number of movies —— C
1 —— c= 8
3——- c= 24
5—— c= 40
6 —— c = 40
15—— c = 40

This explanation shows that the equation is solvable and there is not where in the steps we get a zero on the denominator.
</span><span><u>Explanation</u>
</span><span>The equation given in the statement is;
4/5+3/x=1/2
This equation can be solved as follows:
4/5+3/x=1/2
3/x=1/2-4/5=(5-8)/10
3/x= -3/10
Taking the reciprocal on both side of the equation;
x/3=-10/3
Multiplying by 3 both sides we get;
</span><span>x= -10
