Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per pound of apples = $3.50

Cost per pound of raspberries = $4

Total amount earned = $115

Let,

x represent the pounds of apples sold

y represent the pounds of raspberries sold

According to given statement;

3.50x+4y=115     Eqn 1

y = 2x                  Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

3.50x+4(2x)=115\\3.50x+8x=115\\11.50x=115

Dividing both sides by 11.50

\frac{11.50x}{11.50}=\frac{115}{11.50}\\x=10

Putting x=10 in Eqn 2

y=2(10)\\y=20

Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

For what value of c does the following system have no solution?<br><br> 1/2x+1/5y=2<br> 5x+2y=c
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{5}y = 2 \mid 5x + 2y = c

First let's multiply the 1st equation by 10.

5x + 2y = 20 \mid 5x + 2y = c

So, we can see that the equations have the same coefficients and that implies  they are equal.

So the equation has no solutions for. c \in R \setminus{20}
