A pound of oranges cost x dollar => A pound of pears cost x+3 dollar

We have: 8x+4(x+3)=30 => 12x=30-12=18 =>x=1.5

5 pounds of pears cost: 5(x+3)=5(1.5+3)=5*4.5= 22.5 (dollar)

Mama L [17]
The measure off DF is 11.

In a circle inscribed within a triangle, the distance from each vertex of the triangle to the two nearest touchpoints (points of tangency on the circle) are equal.  Since SD=4, DT=4 as well.  Since UF=7, then FT=7.  

DF=DT+TF=4+7=11.
