Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

Answer:
6600 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the scale drawing is ...
(5.5 in)(3 in) = 16.5 in²
Each square inch represents an area of the field that is ...
(20 yd)×(20 yd) = 400 yd² . . . . per square inch of drawing
Then the scale drawing represents a field with an area of ...
(16.5 in²)×(400 yd²/in²) = 6600 yd²
3x (x + 2)²
3x ( x² + 4)
3x³ +12x

Answer:
20 so the fractions would be 3/4=15/20 and 9/10=18/20
Step-by-step explanation:
because 4 x 5 = 20 and 10 x 2 = 20
D) you just multiply the numerator and denominator by 6 to get an equivalent fraction
