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 are the rules of exponents?
liberstina [14]
The rules of exponents allow you to simplify expressions involving exponents. When multiplying two quantities with the same base, add exponents: xm⋅xn=xm+n x m ⋅ x n = x m + n . When dividing two quantities with the same base, subtract exponents: xmxn=xm−n x m x n = x m − n .
