Let m= cost of mangoes 
a= cost of apples 
8m+3a=18 total (first equation)

3m+5a=14.50 (Second Equation)

Solve using system of equations

8m+3a=18.00
3m+5a=14.50
Multiply 1st equation by 5 and second equation by -3:
5(8m+3a)=5(18.00)
-3(3m+5a)=-3(14.50)
Your problem should look like:
40m+15a=90
-9m+-15a=-43.5
Then you cancel out the 15a and (-15a). So when you combine like terms you get: 31m=46.5 
Divide each side by 31. 
31m\31=46.5\31
m= 1.5
Then you plug in 1.5 into any of the original equation to find the cost of your apples.
3(1.5)+5a=14.5
4.5 + 5a = 14.5 
5a=14.5-4.5
5a=10
a=2

3*x+5*y=14.5

so soultions have to x=48/31     y=16/31

The difference of two numbers is 4. Their sum is 18. Find the numbers.
Travka [436]

Answer:

11 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let these two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.

We can write two equations from the given information:

x - y = 4

and

x + y = 18

If we add them together, the y's cancel out:

x - y = 4

x + y = 18

2x = 22

x = 11

y is 4 less than x, meaning it is 7.

The two numbers are 11 and 7
