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

mart [117]
If n is used as the initial amount of liquid in both A and B:

4(n-120) = n+120
4n-480 = n+120
3n = 600
n = 200

Each container originally held 200ml. Container A now has 80ml and Container B has 320ml
