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

Let ​ f(x)=x+2f(x)=x+2 ​ and ​ g(x)=2x+1 ​ .
kykrilka [37]
For this case, what you must do is to graph both equations in the same Cartesian plane and see where the lines are cut.
 The lines are cut at the point P = (1, 3)
 Therefore, the solution for f (x) = g (x) will be
 x = 1
 (see attached graphic)
 answer
 x = 1
