Apples sell for $1.90 per pound, and bananas sell for $0.75 per pound. Troy bought some apples and some bananas. Together they w

eighed 3.8 pounds, and cost $5.84. Let p represent the number of pounds of apples Troy purchased. Which equation represents the problem described here?
A. 1.15p + 2.85 = 3.8

B. 1.9p + 0.75 = 3.8

C. 1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84

Answer:

1.15p + 285 = 5.84

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds

p = apple pounds

b = banana pounds

<u>Cost</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

<u>Pounds</u>

p + b = 3.8

<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>

p + b = 3.8

b = -p + 3.8

<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) =  5.84

<u>distribute / multiply  .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>

1.90p +  -.75p + 2.85 =  5.84

<u>Combine the p values</u>

1.15p + 285 = 5.84

dolphi86 [110]
First we have to find how much water leaked
5galllons-3 gallons=2 galllos of water leaked
Now we know\frac{2 galllons}{10 minutes}
Finally we can simplify it\frac{2 gallons}{10 minutes}= \frac{1 gallon}{5 minutes} - its the answer

How do you substitute the equation x=y-1
umka2103 [35]
If you need to substitute the equation x = y - 1.
If you have another equation, then you would plug in y - 1 into the x value of the equation you would need to substitute into. 

Hope this helps

Answer:

2.  92 ounces of Sprite

3.  1/6 do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches

4.  6 hours playing volleyball

5. 32 portions

Step-by-step explanation:

2.  Sam has 8 cans of Sprite.  Each can is 11 2/4 ounces

We can simplify 2/4 to 1/2

Multiply the number of cans by  the ounces per can

8 * 11  1/2

8 * 11.5

92 ounces

3.  1/2 of the students want ham.  1/3 of those do not want mustard

We multiply 1/2*1/3 = 1/6

1/6 of the students do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches

4.  8 hours at the beach.  3/4 of the time was spent playing volleyball

Multiply this together

8*3/4 = 8/4*3 = 2*3 = 6 hours

5.  We have 4 lbs of wings.  We divide it into 1/8 lbs parts

4 ÷ 1/8

Copy dot flip

4 * 8/1

32 portions

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
Tomtit [17]

The sequence is " Algebraic, common difference = −10 " ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the algebraic and geometric sequences

  • The Algebraic sequence is the sequence that has a common difference between each two consecutive terms, like 2 , 5 , 8 , 11 , 14 , .......... the difference between the 5 and 2 is equal to the difference between 8 and 5, and the difference between 11 and 8 and the difference between 14 and 11
  • The geometric sequences is the sequence that has a common ratio between each two consecutive terms, like 3 , -9 , 27 , -81 , ...... the ratio between -9 and 3 as the ratio between 27 and -9 as the ratio between -81 and 27

→  x   :    1    :    2    :    3    :    4

→ f(x) :    5   :   -5    :    -15  :    -25

x represents the positions of the terms

f(x) represents the value of each term

∵ 1st = 5 and 2nd = -5

∵ -5 - 5 = -10

∵ 2nd = -5 and 3rd = -15

∵ -15 - (-5) = -15 + 5 = -10

∵ 3rd = -15 and 4th = -25

∵ -25 - (-15) = -25 + 15 = -10

∴ There is a common difference -10 between each two

   consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is algebraic with common difference -10

The sequence is " Algebraic, common difference = −10 "
