Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
LET ORANGES=X
PEARS ARE 3 TIMES =3X
LET CHILDREN=Y
IF WE GIVE 5 ORANGES PER CHILD WE NEED 5Y ORANGES.SO THIS =X
X=5Y........................I
IF WE GIVE 8 PEARS PER CHILD WE NEED 8Y PERARS...THERE ARE STILL 21 PEARS LEFT OUT AFTER THIS THAT IS
8Y+21=3X....................II
SUBSTITUTING FOR X FROM EQN.I..
8Y+21=3*5Y
15Y-8Y=21
7Y=21
Y=3
X==5Y=5*3=15..
SO CHILDREN =3
ORANGES=15
PEARS=3*15=45
THANKYOU AND PLEASE AMRK IT BRAINLIEST
Answer:
I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.
For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.
For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.
For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.
For D: No idea what the point is.
1.) 7.2 2.) 15 3.)12
4.) 23 5.) 100, 100, 1000
