Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, there are two variables: the number of mangoes(y) bought and the number of oranges bought(x).
Let's say the man have z money, mangoes price is z and the oranges price is
z. The equation for money and number of mangoes and oranges will be:
money = mango price * mangoes bought + orange price * orange bought
z= z * x +
z *y
1= x +
y
-y=
x -1
y= -1.5x + 30
y= 30 - 1.5x
If he want equal number of mango and orange, that mean y=x. The calculation will be:
y= 30 - 1.5x
x= 30 - 1.5x
x+ 1.5x = 30
2.5x= 30
x= = 12
Remark
The very first thing you should do with a question like this is get the graph. Then you will know what you are looking for. I have provided you with such a graph. Your table should center around -2 ≤ x ≤ -1
So let's set up a table and see what we get. Start with y = x + 5
x x + 5
-1 4
-1.25 3.75
-1.5 3.5
-1.75 3.25
-2 3
Do the same thing for - (3)^x + 4 See below to see how this is entered your calculator
x -(3)^x + 4
-1 3.66
-1.25 3.75
-1.5 3.8
-1.75 3.85
-2 3.89
Conclusion
When x = - 1.25 y = 3.75 for both graphs. <<<< Answer
