Answer:

1.40 $ per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go by the statement given:

2x + 3y = 7.20  ..... (1) \\and\\4x + 2y = 8.80  ...... (2)\\\\Now, multiplying \ the\  equation \ (1)\  by\  2\  and\  then\  subtracting\  the\  equation\  (2)\  from\  it.\\(1) \times 2\\ \Rightarrow 4x+ 6y=14.40\\Now, subtracting\ the\ equation\ number (2)\\ \Rightarrow4x + 6y - 4x -2y = 14.40 - 8.80\\\Rightarrow 4y = 5.60\\\Rightarrow y = 1.40Hence, price for oranges is 1.40 dollars per pound.

What is the solution to the system of equations y=-5x+3
Nimfa-mama [501]

Hola User______

Here is Your Answer...!!!!

_________________

thus the given equation is a linear equation in two variables ...

thus ploting a table we get as ...

y = -5x + 3

there fore

1) at y=0 , x = 3/5 .... 0 = -5x +3

= -5x = -3 ..thus X = 3/5

2) at x=0 , y= 3 ...

y = -5 (0) + 3 = 3

3) at X =1 , y = -2

4) at y=1 , x = 2/5

PLEASE SOLVE. FIRST ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION GETS MOST BRAINLIEST AND 10 POINTS. THANKS ;)

Total angle sum will always equal 360 degrees. Due to vertical angles theorem, we know the angles opposite the polynomials also equal the polynomials. So, we can double both of them (like solving for perimeter) and sum them to 360.

Thus, 360 = 2(2x + 10) + 2(x+ 5)

360 = 2(2x + 10 + x + 5)
360 = 2(3x + 15)
180 = 3x + 15
165 = 3x
x = 55

The bigger of two numbers is four more
Otrada [13]

Answer:

X=the smaller

y=the larger

The bigger of two numbers is four more than the smaller, then:

y=x+4

one more than twice the smaller is the same as the larger, then

1+2x=y

We have the following system of equations:

y=x+4

y=2x+1

We solve this system by equal values method:

x+4=2x+1

x-2x=1-4

-x=-3

x=3

We find the value of "y"now:

y=x+4

y=3+4

y=7

the values of x and y are:

x=3

y=7
