Let us assume the cost of 1 apple = x dollars
Let us also assume the cost of 1 pear = y dollars
Then we can form two equations from the details given in the question. Based on those details the required answer to the question can be easily deduced.
3x + 8y = 14.50
And
6x + 4y = 14
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 we get
3x + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 3x
y = (7 - 3x)/2
Putting the value of y from the second equation in the first equation we get
3x + 8y = 14.50
3x + 8[(7 - 3x)/2] = 14.50
3x + 4 (7 - 3x) = 14.50
3x + 28 - 12x = 14.50
- 9x = 14.50 - 28
- 9x = - 13.5
9x = 13.5
x = 13.5/9
= 1.5
Putting the value of x in the second equation we get
6x + 4y = 14
(6 * 1.5) + 4y = 14
9 + 4y = 14
4y = 14 - 9
4y = 5
y = 5/4
= 1.25
So we can find from the above deduction that the cost of 1 apple is 1.5 dollars and the cost of 1 pear is 1.25 dollars
Then
Cost of 2 apples = 2 * 1.5 dollars
= 3.0 dollars
So the cost of 2 apples is $3 and the cost of 1 pear is $1.25.

Answer:
9397
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected number of women is ...
(11.6/50)×40,505 = 9397.16 ≈ 9397

Use photo math for this :)
Given:
USD: 104.51
Mexican pesos: 1,322.14
1,322.14 / 104.51 = 12.65
1 US Dollar is equal to 12.65 Mexican Pesos
or
104.51 / 1,322.14 = 0.079
1 Mexican peso is equal to 0.079 US Dollars.
Answer:
b = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6 (b + 3)= - 8 + 5
- 6b - 18= - 3
- 6b= - 3 + 18
- 6b= 15
b= - 15/6
b= - 5/2
