x+y=46 and 1.75x+2y=89.50 can be used to determine the number of pounds of blueberries sold and the number of pounds of apples sold, where x represents the pounds of blueberries sold and y represents the pounds of apples sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one pound of blueberries = $1.75

Cost of one pound of apples = $2

Total worth = $89.50

Total sold = 46 pounds.

Let,

x be the pounds of blueberries sold.

y be the pounds of apples sold

According to given statement;

x+y=46     Eqn 1

1.75x+2y=89.50   Eqn 2

x+y=46 and 1.75x+2y=89.50 can be used to determine the number of pounds of blueberries sold and the number of pounds of apples sold, where x represents the pounds of blueberries sold and y represents the pounds of apples sold.

If three times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number?
Nana76 [90]
Change the messy words into numerals
3     times          a number         minus            2           equals         13
3          ×                n                     -                 2               =               13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2)  = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3     ×    5       -      2     =     13
15    -      2        =          13
13            =               13

The number is 5
