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

Assume all variables represent non negative numbers . Help please!!
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A). 2p^{8}

B). 3m^{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A). \sqrt{4p^{16}}

    To get the square root of the given expression we will convert it into the square form.

4p^{16}=(2)^2(p^{8})^2 [Since 2×2 = 4 and p^{8}\times p^{8}=p^{16}]

Therefore, \sqrt{4p^{16}}=\sqrt{2^{2}\times (p^{8})^2 }

                             =2p^{8}

B). \sqrt{9m^{44}}

    Since, 9m^{14}=(3)^2\times (m^7)^2

    Therefore,  \sqrt{9m^{44}}=\sqrt{(3)^2\times (m^7)^2} [Since 3² = 9 and (m⁷)² = m¹⁴]

                                   =3m^{7}
