Answer:
1.75p + 1.50(p + 6) = 22
Step-by-Step:
p = peaches, m = mangos
1.75p + 1.50m = 22
m = p + 6
1.75p + 1.50(p + 6) = 22
1.75p + 1.50p + 9 = 22
1.75p + 1.50p = 22 - 9
3.25p = 13
p = 13 / 3.25
p = 4 <====== she bought 4 peaches
m = p + 6
m = 4 + 6
m = 10 <===== she bought 10 mangos
check...
1.75p + 1.50m = 22
1.75(4) + 1.50(10) = 22
7 + 15 = 22
22 = 22 (correct)

Answer:
Sam is 24; his mom is 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x and y represent Sam's age and his mom's age, respectively.
y = 2x . . . . . Mom is twice Sam's age
y -12 = x + 12 . . . . Mom's age 12 years ago is the same as Sam's age 12 years from now
__
Substituting for y in the second equation, we have ...
2x -12 = x + 12
x = 24 . . . . . . . . . add 12-x to both sides
y = 2(24) = 48
Sam is 24; his mom is 48.

Answer:
A. 3
B. 4.5
Explanation:
A. 2(5x - 3) = 24
10x - 6 = 24
then add six on both sides
U get 10x = 30
divide 10 on both sides
U get x is 3
B. 5(2x + 1) = 50
10x + 5 = 50
minus five on both sides
10x = 45
divide by 10 on both sides
The answer is x = 4.5
