Answer:

  • apple: £0.20
  • banana: £0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...

  4a +b = 1.40

  7a +b = 2.00

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)

  3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify

  a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  4(0.20) +b = 1.40

  b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80

The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.

Answer:

B) Isolate the variable through inverse operations

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the value of y, we need to get y by itself. Since y is being multiplied by the coefficient 7, dividing both sides by 7 gets us y=10, so B is the right choice.

Only multiplication and division don't change the ratio that made the order pairs in the bigger picture the triangle. Only one is not congruent. I'm about 90% sure I got it correct.

x²=81/2=(81×2)/4

x=9√2/2≈4.5√2≈6.36

9.

x²+x²=11²

2x²=11²

x²=11²/2

x=11/√2=11√2/2≈7.78
