A and then A again, this is because you gotta leave the exponent by its self so you subtract 4 then the -4 gets to the other side and it leaves it with -6x = -24 then you just divide to get your answer.

Nicole runs a farm stand that sells bananas and peaches. Each pound of bananas sells for $2 and each pound of peaches sells for

stepan [7]

Answer:

The required system of equations is:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

x = y + 3

where x is the number of pounds of bananas and y is the number of pounds of peaches

Explanation:

1- Defining the variables:

Assume that the number of pounds of bananas sold is x

Assume that the number of pounds of peaches sold is y

2- Setting the system of equations:

We are given that:

i. Each pound of bananas sells for $2

Money gained from selling x pounds of bananas is 2x

ii. Each pound of peach sells for $3.23

Money gained from selling y pounds of peaches is 3.25y

iii. Nicole made $231.75 in total. This means that:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75 .................> equation I

iv. Nicole sold 3 more pounds of bananas than pounds of peaches. This

means that:

pounds of bananas = pounds of peaches + 3

x = y + 3 ..................> equation II

3- Solving the equations (if required):

In equation II, we have: x = y + 3

Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for y as follows:

2x + 3.25y = 231.75

2(y+3) + 3.25y = 231.75

2y + 6 + 3.25y = 231.75

5.25y = 231.75 - 6

5.25y = 225.75

y = 43

Substitute with y in equation II to get x:

x = y + 3

x = 43 + 3 = 46

Based on the above:

Number of pounds of bananas = x = 46 pounds

Number of pounds of peaches = y = 43 pounds

Hope this helps :)
