Answer:

An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = price of 1 apple.

Let m = price of 1 mango.

Cameron:

4 apples + 7 mangoes ----> total $17.75

4a + 7m = 17.75

Gavin:

2 apples + 5 mangoes ----> total $10.75

2a + 5m = 10.75

We have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.

4a + 7m = 17.75

2a + 5m = 10.75

We can use the elimination method to eliminate the variable a. Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -2 and write below it. Then add the equations.

4a + 7m = 17.75

(+) -4a - 10m = -21.5

---------------------------------

-3m = -3.75

Divide both sides by -3.

m = 1.25

A mango costs $1.25.

Now we use the first equation and substitute 1.25 for m and solve for a.

4a + 7m = 17.75

4a + 7(1.25) = 17.75

4a + 8.75 = 17.75

4a = 9

a = 2.25

An apple costs $2.25.

Answer: An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.

Answer:

2.25 ; 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4A + 7M = 17.75

2A + 5M = 10.75

2A = 10.75 - 5M

4A = 21.5 - 10M

21.5 - 10M + 7M = 17.75

3.75 = 3M

M = 1.25

4A = 21.5 - 10(1.25)

4A = 9

A = 2.25

Solve the system of equations using row operations. Write your answer in the form (x, y).

Answer:

(5, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)

3x - y = 19 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

9x - 3y = 57 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is

11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(5) + 3y = - 2

10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = - 4

Solution is (5, - 4 )

To adopt a dog from an animal shelter, you must pay $80 for vaccinations, $65 to spay or neuter the dog, and $50 for a wellness

Leya [2.2K]

The equation with (x) in dogs and (y) in dollars is $y=195x$

First, you must set up your equation.

$y=80x+65x+50x$

Then, you must add like terms to simplify the equation

$y=195x$

Copy the problems onto your paper, mark the givens and prove the statements asked. Given: ∠BTO ≅ ∠IWE WI ≅ BT , OW ≅ ET Prove: △

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$\triangle BOT \cong \triangle IEW$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$\angle BTO \cong \angle IWE\\WI \cong BT\\OT \cong EW$

We have to prove:

$\triangle BOT \cong \triangle IEW$

Proof:

$\text{In }\triangle BOT \text{ and } \triangle IEW$

we can write:

$\angle BTO = \angle IWE\text{ (Given)}\\WI \cong BT\text{ (Given)}\\OT \cong EW\text{ (Given)}$

Hence, the two triangle are congruent by SAS congruency rule.

$\triangle BOT \cong \triangle IEW$

The attached image shows the two triangle.
