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 :)

The transformed equation y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3 compared to the parent function involves  translating the parent function to the right by 2 units, reflecting the function across the y-axis and translating the function 3 units down

<h3>How to compare the function to its parent function?</h3>

The equation of the transformed function is given as:

y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3

While the equation of the parent function is given as

y = x^2

Start by translating the parent function to the right by 2 units.

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (x - 2, y)

So, we have:

y = (x - 2)^2

Next, reflect the above function across the y-axis

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (-x, y)

So, we have:

y = -(x - 2)^2

Lastly, translate the above function 3 units down

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (x, y - 3)

So, we have:

y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3

Hence, the transformed equation y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3 compared to the parent function involves  translating the parent function to the right by 2 units, reflecting the function across the y-axis and translating the function 3 units down
