Answer:

£1.80 is the price per kilogram of the apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of apples per kilogram  and y represents the number of pears per kilogram.

As per the statement:

Julie buys 2kg of apples and 7kg of pears £12.70.

⇒2x+7y = 12.70          ....[1]

It is also given that the pears cost £1.30 per kilogram

⇒y =£1.30

Substitute in [1] we have;

⇒2x+7 \cdot 1.30 = 12.70  

⇒2x+9.10= 12.70  

Subtract 9.10 from both sides we have;

⇒2x= 3.60  

Divide both sides we have;

x =£1.80

Therefore, £1.80 is the price per kilogram of the apples

1) What is the solution to x - 5 = 27?
Phoenix [80]
X - 5 = 27

Isolate the x, add 5 to both sides (because of equal sign)

x - 5 = 27
x - 5 (+5) = 27 (+5)
x = 27 + 5
x = 32

x = 32 is your answer

hope this helps
