Answer:

x + y = 5

3x + 3y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent apple and y represent orange

Hence x + y = 5

and 3x + 3y = 15

Solving both equations simutaneously

From first equation, x = 5-y

Substitute x=5-y into the second equation

3(5-y)+3y = 15

y= 0

x = 5-0 = 5

Answer:

No; the system has many solutions. The unique price cannot be found for an apple and an orange

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost of apple and 'y' be the cost of orange.

  • If they need $5 for 1 Apple and 1 orange.

x + y = 5

Changing it into slope-intercept form "y = mx + b"

y = 5 - x  or y = -x + 5 ----->eq(1)

  • If they also need $15 for 3 apples and 3 oranges.

3x + 3y = 15

Lets check whether they are parallel (no solution) or coinciding/overlapping (many solution) by converting the above equation into slope intercept form i.e y = mx + b:

3x + 3y = 15 (simplifying it by taking out common)

3(x + y) =15

x+ y = 15/3

x+y = 5

Changing it into slope-intercept form "y = mx + b"

y = 5 - x  or y = -x + 5-------> eq(2)

Both the equations are same in form of y=mx + b.  Therefore, both have the same slope -1 and y-intercept of 5.    

If the system has the same slope and y-intercept, then it is coinciding, consistent and dependent. Therefore, we can colclude that, it has infinite solutions.

Ans: No; the system has many solutions. The unique price cannot be found for an apple and an orange

All of the following are equivalent, except.<br> A. 8X + 3X<br> B.(8+3)X<br> C.11X<br> D.11X squared
vesna_86 [32]
Here, we need to solve all of them:
8x + 3x = 11x
(8+3)x= 11x
11x 
11x²
[There expressions are equal here except last one]

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

What would the graph look like for ^
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The correct option is the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define how to interpret each symbol:

x < a  (x is strictly smaller than a, we graph this with an open circle at a, and an arrow to the left of a)

x > a (x is strictly larger than a, we graph this with an open circle at a, and an arrow to the right of a)

x ≥ a (x is larger than or equal to a, we graph this with a closed circle at a, and an arrow to the right of a)

x ≤ a (x is smaller than or equal to a, we graph this with a closed circle at a, and an arrow to the left of a)

In this case, we have the inequality:

x ≤ 15

Then to graph this we need a closed circle at 15, and an arrow to the left. The correct option is the first one.

Solve for x and y. Then find the measure of each angle.
aliina [53]

Answer:

x= 42

y= 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations like this:

(4y-9)=(3x-43)

(2x+13)=(4y+5)

when two lines cross like this they form vertical angles, and vertical angles are always equal.

calculate the system of equations and you'll get x=42 and y=23

To find the measure of any of the angles just put x or y into the equation.
