We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
1) 2x + 9 = 2x -5
9 ≠ -5 ; No solution
2) 2x- 1 = x + 3
x = 4; One solution x = 4
3) x + 2 = x + 2
0 = 0; Identity (or all real numbers)
Answer:
x = 15
Therefore, the length and width are 31 and 47.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = (2x + 1) + (2x + 1) + (3x + 2) + (3x + 2) = 156
Simplified,
10x + 6 = 156
Subtract 6 from both sides, then divide by 10.
10x = 150
x = 15
To find the length and width, substitute 15 (the value of x) into the individual equations.
2(15) + 1 = 31
3(15) + 2 = 47
