wel
Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6               ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18         ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6 
x = 6 - y 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

12a - 6 + 7a - 2a ; a = 4<br> Need help please
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the value of a in the equation:

12(4) - 6 + 7(4) - 2(4)

Solve 12(4) - 6:

12(4) - 6 = 48 - 6 = 42

Solve 7(4) - 2(4):

7(4) - 2(4) = 28 - 8 = 20

Combine both answers (42+20):

42+20 = 62

Complete answer:

12(4) - 6 + 7(4) - 2(4) = 62
