Answer:

Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y

3x + 9y = 78

8x + 4y = 58

Solving equation using elimination method

multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3

8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)

3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)

24x + 72 y = 624

24x + 12y = 174

subtracting,

60 y = 450

y = 7.5

3x + 9(7.5) = 78

3x + 67.5 = 78

3x = 78 - 67.5

3x = 10.5

x = 3.5

<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>

An object in a simulation accelerates
notsponge [240]

Observe the graph below. This graph represents the scenario.

The question is ill formated, the complete question is

In a simulation, a moving object accelerates from rest to 4 meters per second in 2 seconds. For the following three seconds, it increases linearly until it reaches a speed of 10 meters per second. Following three seconds at that speed (acceleration = 0), the item progressively decelerates until it comes to rest two seconds later. Draw the graph of this scenario for 10 seconds?

I'll describe how the graph may show.

It will move diagonally upward from time 0 to 2 seconds until it reaches the y axis at a speed of 4 m/s.

Then, from 2 to 5, the position will move up diagonally until it reaches the y axis at a speed of 10 m/s.

The next 5 to 8 seconds will be horizontal.

After that, it will descend diagonally.

Observe the graph below. This graph represents the scenario.

Find the distance between<br> (-3,5) and (4,-2)
Westkost [7]

Answer:

7√2 or approx. 9.89949

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between two points is

d=√(∆x^2+∆y^2)

where...

d is distance

∆x is change in x value

and ∆y is change in y value

In this problem ∆x=(-3)-4=(-7)

∆y=5-(-2)=7

plugging in those values gives us

d=√((-7)^2+7^2)

Solving this expression gives us

d=√(49+49)=√98

After simplifying the radical we are left with 7√2 or about 9.89949.
