Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

We first need to define a couple of variables.  Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.

 

Now lets translate the words into algebra:

 

"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32"  ===>  5s  +  2z  =  1.32

 

"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75"  ===>   3s  +  z  =  0.75

 

There are several ways to solve systems of equations.  Let's use substitution.  We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:

 

 3s  +   z   =   0.75

-3s                 -3s

------------     -------------

           z    =  -3s  +0.75

 

Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:

 

 5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32

 

Can you handle it from here?

 

(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)

PRACTICE Model Matit Jarrett walks his 360 puppy outside every day for 30 minutes. Angela walked her puppy every day for 90 minu
nadezda [96]

Angela spends 120 more minutes walking her puppy over 2 days.

Given that Jarrett walks his puppy outside every day for 30 minutes, while Angela walked her puppy every day for 90 minutes, to determine how many more minutes does Angela spend walking her puppy over 2 days compared to Jarrett walking his puppy over 2 days the following calculation must be performed:

  • 90 x 2 - 30 x 2 = X
  • 180 - 60 = X
  • 120 = X

Therefore, Angela spends 120 more minutes walking her puppy over 2 days.
