Let b pounds be the weight of bananas, d pounds - weight of dragon fruit and g pounds - weight of guavas Maggie bought.

1) Maggie bought a total of 30 pounds of bananas, guavas and dragon, then

b+d+g=30.

2)

  • Bananas cost $1 per pound, then b pounds of bananas cost $b;
  • Guavas cost $2 per pound, then g pounds of guavas cost $2g;
  • Dragon fruit costs $3 per poundd pounds cost $3d.

In total Maggie spent $46, thus,

b+2g+3d=46.

3) The weight of the bananas (b pounds) that Maggie bought was twice the weight of the guavas (g pounds) and dragon fruit (d pounds) combined. So

b=2(g+d).

The system of equations is

\left\{\begin{array}{l}b+d+g=30\\b+2g+3d=46\\b=2(d+g)\end{array}\right.

Answer: equations 1, 2 and 5 are correct

write the equation of the line, in standard form, that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 and passes through (-7,2)
34kurt

Answer:

x+3y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-2 so m=3 old slope

the new slope must be -1/3 (opposite reciprocal of the old slope).

y-y0=m*(x-x0)

y-2=-1/3*(x-(-7))

y-2=-1/3x-1/3*7

y-2=-1/3x-7/3

3y-6=-x-7

The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C.

x+3y=6-7

x+3y=-1
