Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first receipt:
2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:
2g + 4o = 10.70
From the second receipt:
3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:
3g + 2o = 9.65
Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:
2g + 4o = 10.7
3g + 2o = 9.65
I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:
2g + 4o = 10.7
-6g - 4o = -19.3
As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:
-4g = -8.6 so
g = 2.15
Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:
2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and
4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and
4o = 6.4 so
o = 1.60
Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.

DANG some of these questions are from like 2017 and still havent been answerd
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the dryer costs $425
Step-by-step explanation:
x = washer
y = dryer
x + y = 803
x = y - 47
using the second equation a substitute in the first equation we get
y - 47 + y = 803
2y = 850
y = $425
FYI
x = y - 47 = 425 - 47 = $378
<em>Make the unknown numerator be x and unkown denominotor be y</em>
<em>We have : 7 - </em>
= 6
=> = 7 - 6
= 
<em>So we need to fill in the box :</em>
