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!

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank and has investments worth $4,000. He also has $7,000 worth of credit card debt. What is Joaquin's
svetlana [45]
The answer to this question would be: <span>-$1,700

In this question, we can separate the account into positive/debit and negative/credit value. The positive/debit value should be:

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank
He has $4,000 worth of investment
Total positive value = $1300 + $4000= $5300

The negative value should be 
</span><span>$7,000 worth of credit card debt
</span>Total positive value =$7000
<span>
Then the net worth should be: $5300 - $7000= -$1700</span>

2/0 = 32/48 = 30/0. What number shpuld come in place of the zeros?​
Anton [14]

Answer:

\sf \dfrac{2}{3}  = \dfrac{32}{48}  = \dfrac{30}{45}

<h3><u>For the 1st part</u></h3>

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{32}{48}

\sf \rightarrow 2(48)= {32x}

\sf \rightarrow 32x= 96

\sf \rightarrow x = 3

<h3><u>For the 2nd part</u></h3>

<u />\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{32}{48} = \dfrac{30}{y}

\rightarrow \sf {32y} = 30(48)

\rightarrow \sf {32y} = 1440

\rightarrow \sf y = 45
