Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
Answer:
She has 6 1/3. The larger dress need 3 2/3. So 6 1/3 - 3 2/3 = 2 2/3
So Mrs. Rodriguez will need 2 2/3 for the smaller dress
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -5x Y8
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Your function is
y = 9 − 5x = -5x+ 9
slope = -5
The parallel line
The line must have slope = -5 and include (0, 8), so
8 = -5×(0) + b
8 = 0 + b
b = 8
The equation for the parallel line is
y = -5x + 8
In the diagram below, the red line is the graph of y = 9 -5x.
The parallel blue line is the graph of y = -5x + 8.
