I'm pretty sure if the answer accepts decimals, if two apples = 175 grams, then one apple equals 87.5 grams, and if we want an apple that equals four grams, it would be less than one apple so we would divide the grams of one apple till it equals 4, therefore 87.5/4 = 21.875
P.S. im not entirely sure this is right im just trying to help :)
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: It fills the requirements
Answer:
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2); x = 35, y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the number of 2 point shots and y represents the number of 3 point shots. If the total number of shots is 50, then x + y = 50 (1)
Also, the total 2 point shots is number of 2 point shots × points per shot = 2x and the total 3 point shots is number of 3 point shots × points per shot = 3y. Since the total number of points is 115, then
2x + 3y = 115 (2)
So, the system of equations are
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2)
We can solve for x and y by substituting x = 50 - y into (2)
So, 2(50 - y) + 3y = 115
100 - 2y + 3y = 115
100 + y = 115
y = 115 - 100
y = 15
So, x = 50 - y
= 50 - 15
= 35
