Answer:

You bought 5 pounds of bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we assign variables.

Let the number of pounds of bananas bought be b and the number of pounds of apple bought be a .

One more pound of apples than bananas were bought.

Mathematically this means a - b = 1 or a = b+ 1 .........(i)

The total cost of apples bought is 3.4 * a = $3.4a

The total cost of bananas bought is 2.30 * b = $2.30b

Now the addition of both equals $31.90

Thus, we have;

3.4a + 2.3b = 31.9 •••••••••(ii)

From i, we can substitute for a

3.4(b+1) + 2.3b = 31.9

3.4b + 3.4 + 2.3b = 31.9

5.7b + 3.4 = 31.9

5.7b = 31.9 - 3.4

5.7b = 28.5

b = 28.5/5.7

b = 5 pounds

The table lists several points that form a line on a coordinate plane.
omeli [17]

Answer:

Slope is 1/4 (0.25) while y-intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in getting the y intercept and slope of the line joining the given points.

We can get the slope by using any two points

Let’s say (4,6) and (12,8)

Mathematically; slope

= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-6)/(12-4) = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25

To get the y-intercept, we proceed

kindly recall that the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Let’s take any of the points (28,12)

Thus:

12 = 0.25(28) + c

12 = 7 + c

c = 12-7

c = 5
