Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.
Let x represent the cost of each pound of squash and y represent the cost of each pound of eggplant.
3 pounds of squash and 2 pounds of eggplants cost $2.85. Hence:
3x + 2y = 2.85 (1)
4 pounds of squash and 5 pounds of eggplants cost $5.41. Hence:
4x + 5y = 5.41 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:
x = 0.49, y = 0.69
Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge. If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile. So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge. If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is
C(x) = 2x + 2.50
If we are driven 5 miles, then
C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so
C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and
C(5) = $12.50
It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles
Answer: x = -2 and x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 + 5x + 6 *FACTOR*
(x+2) (x+3) = 0
x + 2 = 0
-2 -2
x = -2
x + 3 = 0
-3 -3
x = -3
Answer:
if they are equal then it would be 6.5
