Answer:

2.6 pounds of apples; 1.2 pounds of bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

A = pounds of apples and B = pounds of bananas

The total weight is 3.8 pounds, so:

A + B = 3.8

Apples are $1.90 per pound and bananas are $0.75 per pound, and the total cost is $5.84, so:

1.90A + 0.75B = 5.84

We can solve the system of equations using either elimination or substitution.

Using substitution:

1.90A + 0.75(3.8 - A) = 5.84

1.90A + 2.85 - 0.75A = 5.84

1.15A = 2.99

A = 2.6

B = 3.8 - A

B = 1.2

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the point on the segment halfway between the endpoints. It may be the case that the midpoint of a segment can be found simply by counting. If the segment is horizontal or vertical, you can find the midpoint by dividing the length of the segment by 2 and counting that value from either of the endpoints.

What is five x plus negative three equals fifteen
bearhunter [10]
You write the equation like this:
5x + (-3) = 15

But if you want to solve it then you do it like this:
5x + (-3) = 15
5x - 3 = 15
5x = 18
x = 18/5
