Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
<h3>Given condition:</h3>
x + y = 48 --------(1)
y = 7x -------------(2)
Put Eq. (2) in (1)
x + 7x = 48
8x = 48
Divide 8 to both sides
x = 48/8
<h3>x = 6</h3>
Put x = 6 in Eq. (2)
y = 7 (6)
<h3>y = 42</h3>

X²=144
x=√144
x=12 or x=-12
282

Answer:
Eleven and seven fifteenths pounds of fruit.
Step-by-step explanation:
6+4 = 10 pounds
12/15 + 4/6 = 1+7/15

Hope this helped!
Solve both sides out and you'll get 2x - 2

-12. This is the same as x

-5 or -5

x. So the answer is the second one.
