Answer:

x = 1 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let apples are represented by x

and let oranges are represented by y

You purchase 5 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges for $9. This line in equation format can be written as:

5x + 2y = 9

Your friend purchases 5 pounds of apples and 6 pounds of oranges for $17.

This line in equation format can be written as:

5x + 6y = 17

Now we have two equations:

5x + 2y = 9 -> eq (i)

5x + 6y = 17 -> eq(ii)

We can solve these equations to find the value of x and y.

Subtracting eq(i) from eq(ii)

5x + 6y = 17

5x + 2y = 9

-     -         -

_________

0+4y= 8

=> 4y = 8

y= 8/4

y = 2

Now, putting value of y in eq (i)

5x + 2y = 9

5x +2(2) = 9

5x +4 = 9

5x = 9-4

5x = 5

x = 1

so, x = 1 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A

3(6+15)

=3(21)

=63

B

5[15-(6+1)]

=5(8)

=40

B

⅓(15)

=5

C

⅓(6+15)

=⅓(21)

=7

E

15/6

=2/1/2 or 2.5

W

2(6)(15-3)

=2(7)

=36

L

4(⅓+⅓+⅓)

=4(1)

=4

L

6/15 - 15/6

=36/90 - 225/90

= -189/90

= -21/10

What is the mass of an object if it takes a net force of 32 N to accelerate
Sonbull [250]

We will find the answer using the second law of motion i.e. Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

\sf \: F=ma

Where,

  • F is force
  • M is mass
  • A is acceleration

In our case,

  • F = 32 N
  • A = 0.88m/s
  • M = ?

Let's solve for M ~

\tt \: 32 = m \times 0.88

\tt \: 32 = 0.88m

\tt \: 0.88m = 32

\tt \: m = 36.36

<em>Thus, The mass of object is 36.36 </em><em>grams</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>~</em>

A store manager is accepting applications for part-time workers. he can hire no more than 14 people. so far,he has hired 9 peopl
Lorico [155]

The manager already hired 9 people. Let x be the number of people he still can hire. Since these people will add to the 9 he already hired, when the hiring campaign will be over he will have hired 9+x people. We know that he can't hire more than 14 people, so the number of people hired must be less than or equal to 14:

9+x \leq 14

If we subtract 9 from both sides, we have

x \leq 14-9=5

so, the manager can hire at most 5 other people
