Let's call:
a = price of 1 apple
p = price of 1 peach

The total cost is the price of 1 apple times the number of apples plus the price of 1 peach times the number of peaches, therefore the system can be:
\left \{ {{6a + 9p = 7.86} \atop {4a + 5p = 4.82}} \right.

Solve for a in the second equation (you can choose to solve for any of the variables in any of the equations, try to understand what is the best):
a = (4.82 - 5p) / 4

Now, substitute in the first equation:
6 · (4.82 - 5p) / 4 + 9p = 7.86
7.23 - (15/2)p + 9p = 7.86
(3/2)p = 0.63
p = 0.42

Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
<span>a = (4.82 - 5·0.42) / 4</span>
   = 0.68

Therefore, one apple costs 0.68$ and one peach costs 0.42$.

Answer:

  25 +0i

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjugate of a complex number is that number with the sign of the imaginary part reversed.

For z = -3+4i, its conjugate z* is -3-4i. The product of z and z* is ...

  (-3 +4i)(-3 -4i) = -3(-3 -4i) +4i(-3 -4i)

  = 9 +12i -12i -16i² = 9 +16 = 25

The real part of the product is 25; the imaginary part is 0.

  (-3 +4i)(-3 -4i) = 25 +0i

_____

You may have noticed that (z)(z*) = |z|², the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts. It is always a non-negative real number.
