Lets x is price of noble fir trees and y - is price for douglas fir trees
students got 5x+3y=420$ on friday
and 12x+9y=1080
now we need just solve the system of equations
5x+3y=420 - multiply by 3
12x+9y=1080

15x+9y=1260
12x+9y=1080
substract second equation from first
15x-12x=1260-1080
3x=180 x=60$ - the price of noble fir trees

put value x=60 in first equation 5x+3y=420
5*60+3y=420
300+3y=420
3y=120 y=40$ - price of Douglas fir trees

Answer: Noble fir trees cost $60 and Douglas fir trees cost $40

Jelly ate 3 apples. This represents 50% of the bag of apples. How many apples were originally in the bag
rjkz [21]
<h3>Answer:  6 apples</h3>

x = number of apples originally

50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3

0.50x = 3

x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50

x = 6

You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.

<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.

given data

the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months

and also that 1 month= 4 weeks

X= 0.15 inches per month

Therefore the growth rate would be

0.15 inches per month
