The pattern is adding 1.43 to the term before
1.11 + 1.43 = 2.54 + 1.43 = 3.97 + 1.43 = 5.40 . . .and so on.
No, a function requires an input and output value

Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
W+d=869
w=d-81
plug in
(d-81)+d=869
2d-81=869
+81 both sides
2d=950
÷2 both sides
d=475
dryer cost $475
let's check w=475-81
w=394
475+394=869
869=869
the solution is true :)
