Step-by-step explanation:
x = mass of apples
y = mass of strawberries
z = mass of the box
x = 3y
x + z = 16240
y + z = 6350
let's subtract the second from the first equation
x + z = 16240
- y + z = 6350
-----------------------
x - y + 0 = 9890
using the first identity in that result gives us
3y - y = 9890
2y = 9890
y = 4,945 g
x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples
Answer:
x axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B: (2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First isolate the y in both equations
2) Set the equations equal to each other
3) Solve for x (you should get 2 and 5)
4) Insert the x values back in to get your y values
5) You should have gotten (2, -1) and (5, 2)
These are your two answers, but the question is only asking for one solution and (5,2) isn't one of the options, so it has to be (2,-1).
