Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the whole numbers first.

-5-2 = -7

Now the fractions:

1/2 and 1/3

We need to find a common denominator. It's 6.

So,

for 1/2 multiply the numerator and denominator both by 3. You get 3/6.

Now 1/3:

Multiply 1 and 3 with 2. you get 2/6.

Subtract:

3/6-2/6=

1/6

Putting whole number and fraction togethr: -7 1/6

Cherries $5 per pound and oranges per pound$2. He paid 18.00 for total weight which was 6 lbs how many pounds of cherries did Al

wel

Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges

. A square picture frame occupies an area of 112 ft2 . What is the length of each side of the picture in simplified radical form

saw5 [17]

Recall that a square is just a rectangle with all sides equal.

and the area of a rectangle is just length * width.

$\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=length\cdot width\quad 
\begin{cases}
length=x\\
width=x\\
A=112
\end{cases}\implies 112=x\cdot x\implies 112=x^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{112}=x\implies \sqrt{16\cdot 7}=x\implies \sqrt{4^2\cdot 7}=x\implies 4\sqrt{7}=x$
