Let X= Cost of pears Let Y= Cost of peaches.

Solve question using a system of equations.

5X + 6Y = 11.20

3X = 2Y

Simplify the second equation to solve for Y.

3X = 2Y

Y = 1.5X

Substitute Y into the first equation.

5X + 6(1.5X) = 11.20

Simplify.

14X = 11.20

Solve for X:

X = 0.8

Substitute the value into one of the equations.

3X = 2Y

3(0.8) = 2Y

2.4 = 2Y

Y = 1.2

Each pear is $0.80 and each peach is $1.20.

Hope this helps!

1. Solve the shape equation puzzle?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

circle = 5, triangle = 2, square = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at the first and second equations, we see that circle + triangle + square = 13. Because triangle + square = 8, we can substitute this into the first equation, therefore, circle + 8 = 13 and circle = 5. Next, looking at the third equation, we see that circle + triangle = 7 and since circle = 5 we know that 5 + triangle = 7, therefore, triangle = 2. Finally, we can substitute triangle = 2 into the second equation which gives us 2 + square = 8, therefore, square = 6.

Which of the following choices list the slides from the shortest to longest
gayaneshka [121]
If they dont work in those orders than switch it up. Like instead of AC it would be CA.
These would be the different choices:
CA, BC, BA,
The reason I say this is because computers could have glitches or just be programed different. So try this instead.

Hope this helps : )***
