By solving a system of equations, we will see that now there are 3.5kg of grapes on the basket.

<h3>How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

  • x = kg of grapes on the box originally.
  • y = kg of grapes on the basket originally.

We know that:

x = 2y

When we add 2kg to the basket, it has 0.5k more than the box, then:

y + 2 = x + 0.5

Then we have a system of equations:

x = 2y

y + 2 = x + 0.5

We want to solve this for y, then we can replace the first equation into the second one:

y + 2 = (x = 2y) + 0.5

y + 2 = 2y + 0.5

2 - 0.5 = 2y - y

1.5 = y

This means that, originally, there are 1.5 kg of grapes on the basket. And then we added 2kg, so now there are:

1.5kg + 2kg = 3.5kg

azamat

Answer:

the slope is 1 up and 7 left (mx part of the equation) and the 2 is where you start on the y axis. So you start at 2 on the vertical axis, and move up one and left 7, and put a point on where you land and continue.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should look something like this: hope this helps :)
