Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

Answer:
x=(3a+5)/(2a-b)
Step-by-step explanation:
We spread the a to the 2x and -3 first,
2ax -3a= bx+5 5ax
By adding 3a, we pass the -3a over
2ax=bx+5+3aa bx+5+3aa
We'll pass the bx over the bx, then
2ax-bx=5+3aa-bx=5
Now we will party like this on the left side,
5+3a) x(2a-b)=5+3a)
Everything we have to do to find x is to separate both sides by (2a-b)
x=(3a+5)/=(3a+5)/ (2a-b)
