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.
What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks
D = V • t ... displacement = velocity • time
d = [(s – 4) ⁄ (s² – 9s + 20)] • [(s – 5) ⁄ 4] ... rearrange terms
d = (s – 4) • (s – 5) ⁄ [4(s² – 9s + 20)] ... factor denominator
d = (s – 4) • (s – 5) ⁄ [4(s – 4) • (s – 5)]
d = ¼ mile
Answer:
60 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
to get the square feet (or the area basically) you multiply the length and width together
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
times the number so 18 times 30
