Answer:
<em>The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
a = pounds of apples
b = pounds of bananas
The baker bought a total of 12 pounds of apples and bananas, thus:
a + b = 12 [1]
Apple cost $0.75 per pound and each pound of bananas cost $1.05 per pound. Thus the total cost is 0.75a + 1.05b. We know he spent a total of $10.20, thus
0.75a + 1.05b = 10.20 [2]
Solving [1] for a:
a = 12 - b [3]
Substituting in [2]:
0.75(12 - b) + 1.05b = 10.20
Operating
9 - 0.75b + 1.05b = 10.20
Simplifying:
0.30b = 10.20 - 9 = 1.20
Dividing by 0.30:
b = 1.20/0.30
b = 4
From [3]:
a = 12 - 4 = 8
a = 8
The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) 25x + 15y = 750
2) 25. On a graph it would look like : (25,0)
3) 15. On a graph it would look like : (15,0)
4) 25x - 750 = 15y or 15y - 750 = 25x
Step-by-step explanation:
With questions like this (to see if theyre parallel), all you have to do is see if lines have a congruent slope. if yes (ex: 2 and 2), then they are parallel. if the slopes are opposites (ex: 4 and -1/4), then they are perpendicular. If they have no such relation (ex: -3 and 1/7), then they are neither.
with this problem, find the slope by separating the same variable in each equations, like this:
2x + 7y = 6
-2x -2x
7y = -2x + 6
(the second equation is already separated) so now we have
7y = -2x + 6 and 7y = 2x + 6
since -2 does NOT equal 2, these two graphs/lines are NOT parallel.
Hope this helped!
