Let x be price of apples per pound and y be price of potatoes per pound.

We can set a system of equations by our given information as:

8x+7y=18.85...(1)

2x+10y=12.88...(2)

Now we will use substitution method to solve our system of equations.

From equation 2 we will get,

x=\frac{12.88-10y}{2}

Upon substituting value of x in equation 1 we will get,

8\cdot(\frac{12.88-10y}{2} )+7y=18.85

4\cdot(12.88-10y)+7y=18.85  

51.52-40y+7y=18.85

-33y=18.85-51.52

-33y=-32.76

33y=32.76

y=\frac{32.76}{33} =0.99

Therefore, price of potatoes will be $0.99 per pound.

Now let us find price of apples by substituting y=0.99 in equation 2.

2x+10\cdot0.99=12.88

2x+9.9=12.88

2x=12.88-9.9

2x=2.98

x=\frac{2.98}{2} =1.49

Therefore, price of apples will be $1.49 per pound.

Solve for x<br> simple geometry
Zina [86]

The answer is 29

when we see angles like that we will use a property of a parallelogram

which means

2x-10 angle plus 4x+16 angle equal to 180 degrees

let's find out

(2x-10)+(4x+16)=180

6x+6=180

6x=174

x=29

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

q = -4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q we have to isolate the variable.

-9 = q - 4.8

Add 4.8 to both sides to isolate q

-4.2 = q

Answer:

The equation is <u>( 32/2 ) × 3 = 48.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we must find one third of last years trip. To do this, we can simply divide the cost of this year's trip by two, 32/2=16.

Now if we multiply this years trip by 3, 16×3=48, we can see that the total cost of last years trip was $48.

If we'd like to turn this into a equation, it looks like this:

( 32/2 ) × 3 = 48.
