John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.
Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound
Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.
3c + 2b =$24.95
Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.
b= c - $6.50
We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.
3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95
3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95
5c = $24.95 + $13.00
c = $7.59
Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.
b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09
The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.

3x - x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 10
combine like terms on the left, then add or subtract as asked
(3x - x + 5x) + (8 - 2) = 10
7x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
7x = 4
divide both sides by 7
x = 4/7
Hope this helps! :)

EXPLANATION
If C(a,1) is on the line that passes through A(3, 7), and B(-4, 9), then the three points are collinear.
This implies that, when we find the slope using any two points, we should get the same re. sorry couldnt finish
