Jan is not correct. The opposite of any number will not always be a positive. This is because the opposite of a positive number is negative and the opposite of a negative number is positive.
Basically, opposite numbers are numbers that are the same distance to 0 on a number line. If we were to have a positive 1, the opposite of that number would be a -1, because that's equally distant from 0 on a number line.
Answer:
Let's call:
f = price of 1 cup of dried fruit
a = price of 1 cup of almonds
In order to build the linear system, you need to consider that the total price of a bag is given by the sum of the price of cups times the number of cups in each bag, therefore:
Solve for a in first equation:
a = (6 - 3f) / 4
Then substitute in the second equation:
41/2 f + 6 · (6 - 3f) / 4 = 9
41/2 f + 9 - 9/2 f = 9
16 f = 0
f = 0
Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
a = (6 - 3·0) / 4
= 3/2 = 1.5
Hence, the cups of dried fruit are free and 1 cup of almond costs 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Functions a(x) and b(x) intersect each other at x = 2.
4/5 divided by 1/8
= 4/5 x 8/1
32/5
= 6.4 cupcakes or 6 cupcakes if they’re looking for a whole number
