Answer:

weight of pears sold = 4.08 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

total weight of apples and pears = 6.8 kg

2/5 of this weight = apples

this means that if the total weight (6.8 kg) were divided into 5 parts, apples take 2 out of the 5 parts:

∴ weight of apples = 2/5 of total weight

weight of apples 2/5 × 6.8 = 2.72 kg

Therefore apples weigh a total of 2.72 kg

Therefore, since weight of apples + weight of pears = 6.8 kg

2.72 + weight of pears = 6.8

weight of pears = 6.8 - 2.72 = 4.08 kg

Solve by graphing.
melisa1 [442]

Given:

The given system of equations is:

2x+y=1

x-2y=8

To find:

The solution to this system of equations by graphing.

Solution:

We have,

2x+y=1

x-2y=8

The table of values for first equation is:

x       y

0      1

1      -1

Plot the points (0,1) and (1,-1) on a coordinate plane and connect them a straight line.

The table of values for second equation is:

x       y

0      -4

2      -3

Plot the points (0,-4) and (2,-3) on a coordinate plane and connect them a straight line.

The graphs of given equations are shown in the below figure.

From the below figure, it is clear that the lines intersect each other at point (2,-3). So, the solution of the given system of equations is (2,-3).

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is:

x-coordinate: 2

y-coordinate: -3
