We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
Answer:
No Solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-1)-y=-8
y=2x+8
----------------
2x-2-(2x+8)=-8
2x-2-2x-8=-8
2x-2x-2-8=-8
0-2-8=-8
-2-8=-8
-10=-8
no solution
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the problem statement, we can set up the following two equations:
where 
is the number of Knicks players, and 
is the number of Nets players.
We can substitute the first equation into the second and solve for
I’m guessing you just have to multiply all the sides together and divide
