John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.

Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound

Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.

3c + 2b =$24.95

Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.

b= c - $6.50

We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.

3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95

3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95

5c = $24.95 + $13.00

c = $7.59

Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.

b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09

The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!! The provided diagram of triangle ABC will help you to prove that the base angles of an isosceles triangl
Lunna [17]

Answer: The proof is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Δ ABC is isosceles triangle.

Therefore, AB = BC

Prove: Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

In Δ ABO and Δ ACO,

∠ BAO ≅ ∠ CAO  ( AO bisects ∠ BAC )

∠ AOB ≅ ∠ AOC ( AO is perpendicular to BC )

BO ≅ OC ( O is the mid point of BC)

Thus, By ASA postulate of congruence,

Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

Therefore, By CPCTC,

∠B ≅ ∠ C

Where ∠ B and ∠ C are the base angles of Δ ABC.

Find the x intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-1,-16) and y intercept (0,-15)
Arlecino [84]
<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>

<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>

<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>

<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>

<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>

<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>

<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>

<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>
