Answer:
10.54 pounds is right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
bananas 2.26 pounds
Grapes 1.5 pounds
water melon 6.78 pounds
total weight = 10.54 pounds
1. Sam scored at least 26 points = s ≥ 26
(s = Sam's score)
2. No more than 6 books are in your bag = b ≤ 6
(b = the amount of books)
4x + 2y = 8 (1)
8x + 4y = -4y (2)
A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
- putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c where m is the gradient)
(1) 4x + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 4x
y = -2x + 4
(2) 8x + 4y = -4y
<span> </span>8x = -4y - 4y
y =

y = -x
<span>
Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such the two lines are not parallel</span>
B) When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1

p = (-2) * (-1)
p = 2
<span> ∴
the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>
Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES
There is no solution for the first one
if you eliminate y you get 2 equations
-13x - 13z = -25
-13x - 13x = -15
- there is no solution to theses
a23 means the element in the second row and the 3rd column
so its -5
