A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75.

If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x+6y=7.50 10x+5y=8.75 What is the cost of one apple?

Answer:

  $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remove common factors from the equations.

  • x + y = 1.25 . . . . divide the first equation by 6
  • 2x +y = 1.75 . . .  divide the second equation by 5

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we find the cost of an apple:

  (2x +y) -(x +y) = 1.75 -1.25

  x = 0.50

The cost of one apple is $0.50.

A 10-foot ladder touches the side of a building at a point 8 feet above the ground. At what height would a 22-foot ladder touch
WARRIOR [948]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

8.75 feet

<h2>Step by step:</h2>

Given that a 12 foot ladder leans against a building seven feet above the ground.

By using trigonometry ratio, the angle between the ladder and the ground will be

SinØ = opposite/ hypothenus

SinØ = 7 / 12

SinØ = 0.58333

Ø = Sin^-1(0.58333)

Ø = 35.69 degree

At what height would an 15 foot ladder touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground?

Using the same trigonometric ratios

SinØ = opposite/hypothenus

Sin 35.69 = opposite/ 15

Cross multiply

Opposite = 15 × sin 35.69

Opposite = 8.75 feet

Therefore, the ladder will touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground at height 8.75 feet.
