A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75.

If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x+6y=7.50 10x+5y=8.75

Answer:

x = $0.50

y= $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the equations to have the same coefficients

5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5

3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25

2. Subtract the equations

 30x + 30y = 37.5

<u>- 30x + 15y = 26.25</u>

15y = 11.25

3. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 15

y = 0.75

4. Plug in 0.75 for y into one of the equations

6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5

5. Simplify

6x + 4.5 = 7.5

6. Solve for x

6x = 3

x = 0.5

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 and the angle opposite from Angle 1 (the angle that's 68°) are vertical angles.

What are vertical angles, you ask?

According to the Oxford dictionary, vertical angles are each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

For example, take the letter X. The letter X has two lines that intersect to form 4 angles. The top and bottom angles are a pair of vertical angles. So are the left and right angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

(This is VERY important to know! It will help you solve many types of geometry problems!)

m1 is 3x - 7. Because Angle 1 and the angle that's 68° are vertical angles, that means they are equal to each other.

Therefore: 3x - 7 = 68.

Now, you can solve for x to get x = 25.

Hope this helps!
