Answer:

A cantaloupe costs $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Watermelons = W

Cantaloupes = C

Write given statements as equations

5W + 6C = 54

4W + 8C = 56

Simplify the second equation

4W + 8C = 56

Subtract 8C from both sides of the equation

4W = 56 - 8C

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 14 - 2C

Substitute into second equation

5W + 6C = 54

5(14 - 2C) + 6C = 54

Multiply 5(14 - 2C)

70 - 10C + 6C = 54

Add -10C + 6C

70 - 4C = 54

Add 4C to both sides of the equation

70 = 54 + 4C

Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation

16 = 4C

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

C = 4

A cantaloupe costs $4

5W + 6(4) = 54

Multiply 6(4)

5W + 24 = 54

Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation

5W = 30

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

W = 6

A cantaloupe costs $4

A watermelon costs $6

Hope this helps :)

Ivan

Answer:

a) 891.5 = 475 + 29.75p  b) p = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be the total amount of money they raised equals the cost of the bus plus the cost of the meal per player. This will set up the equation to find out how many players can go if they use all of their money.

p represents the number of players on the team

891.5 = 475 + 29.75p

Subtract the cost of the bus from both sides

416.5 = 29.75p

Now divide by the cost of the meals

14 = p

They can bring 14 players to the tournament.

Help me please im beggingggg

Answer: <u>96</u> sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the area of the rectangular sides. Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, all the rectangles will be the same size.

             A = L * W

             A = (10 ft) * (3 ft)

             A = 30 ft²

             30 ft² * 3 = 90 ft²

      Next, we will find the area of the two triangles.

             A = \frac{b*h}{2}

             A = \frac{3*2}{2}=\frac{6}{2} =3

             3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft²

      Lastly, we will add them together for the total surface area.

90 ft² + 6 ft² = 96 ft²
