M = mangoes
a = apples

8m + 3a = 18               Equation 1
3m + 5a = 14.50          Equation 2
Lets multiply equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3
The new equations are:
45m + 15a = 90
9m   + 15a = 43.5

Subtract them and get:
36m = 46.5
m     = 1.30     Divide both sides by 36

Substitute m into equation 2 (either is fine, but choose the easier one)
3(1.30) + 5a = 14.5
3.9     + 5a  = 14.6        Expand the bracket
5a = 10.6                      Minus both sides by 3.9
a   = 2.12                      Divide both sides by 5

Mangoes cost $1.30
Apples cost $2.12 (more like $2.10)

I feel that my working out is wrong, but that is how you work out the answer.

Maria leaves her house and walks north for 6 blocks. She then turns and walks directly east for 8 more blocks
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

36+64=100 100 to the square root is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not giving a diagram just draw a triangle and make the base of it 8 and the length of it 6 but the diagonal part 10

It's the pythagorean theorum. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

^2= to the 2nd power. or squared.

In this case it really doesnt matter which one you label for this part of math.

so 8^2 + 6^2 = C^2 where C is the shortest distance between the houses.

and 8 and 6 were the lengths given.

64+36=100

100's square root is 10 because 10^2 is 100 or 10*10 is 100. If you dont know what squaring is.

Its multiplying something by that something once so 1 squared is 1 because its 1*1 you are multiplying it once 2 squared or 2^2 is 4 because 2*2 is 4 3 squared or 3^2 is 9 because 3*3 is 9. 4 squared is 16 because 4*4 is 16. and if you did 2 to the power of 3 of 2 cubed it would be 8 because 2*2*2 is 8.

There would be enough room because if you do 60 times .375 (3 over 8) it would equal out to 22.5
