b + p = 14 and 0.80 b + 2 p = 20.80 are the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let b be the number of bananas

Let p be the number of peaches  

Given that the total of bananas and peaches that Emily bought  = 14

Hence we have,

b + p = 14

Step 2 :

Cost of one banana =  $0.80

Cost of one peach = $2

Cost of all the bananas and peaches Emily bought = $20.80

So sum of b bananas costing $0.80 and sum of p peaches costing $2 each is $20.80

Hence we have

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the value for b and p which will give the number of bananas and peaches bought

Step 3 :

Answer :

The system of equations that could be used to find the number of the bananas and the number of the peaches that Emily bought is given by

b + p = 14

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the number of chip and pretzel bags respectively  : 4x%2B2y%3 C=20 : if x=1 then 4%281%29%2B2y%3C=20--->{{2y<=16}}}--->y%3C=8  : if x=3 then 4%283%29%2B2y%3C=20--->{{2y<=8}}}--->y%3C=4  : so chips 1 and pretzels 8  : chips 3 and pretzels 4.

Advocard [28]

Answer: 8.3 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

simple, there's a flat fee for 1 ounce, then 23 cents for each ounce following.

so $2 - $0.32 = $1.68

1.67 / 0.23 = 7.3 ounces

7.3 ounces + 1 ounces (from the flat fee we subtracted)

which equals 8.3

Express the given quantity as a single logarithm. ln x + a ln y − b ln z
professor190 [17]
The rules of logarithms tell you ...
• \ln(a)+\ln(b)=\ln(a \cdot b)
• a \cdot \ln(b)=\ln(b^{a})

\ln(x)+a \cdot \ln(y)-b \cdot \ln(z)=\ln\left( \dfrac{x \cdot y^{a}}{z^{b}} \right)
