Answer

Find out the how much does one apple cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .

Let us assume that the number of apples be y .

As given

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .

Than the equation becomes

2x + y = 1.16

one banana and one apple cost $0.71.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 0.71

Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16

2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71

x = 0.45

Put in the equation x + y = 0.71

0.45 + y = 0.71

y = 0.71 - 0.45

y = $0.26

Therefore the cost of the one apple is $0.26 .

Which equation could be used to find the height of the flagpole?

Andrew [12]

Given a fragpole which makes a right angle with the point of observation with the angle of elevation as 50°.

Let x be the height of the flagpole, then

$\sin50^o= \frac{x}{5}$

Therefore, the equation that could be used to find the height of the flagpole is
x/5 = sin 50

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{There is no solution}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcll}3x - 4 + 1 & = & -2x - 5 + 5x & \\3x - 3 & = & 3x - 5 & \text{Combined like terms on each side}\\-3 & = & -5 & \text{Subtracted 3x from each side}\\\end{array}\\\text{This is impossible. There is $\large \boxed{\textbf{no solution}}$ to the equation.}$

Find the length of side AB in the right triangle shown.

Bogdan [553]

Side AB is 72 cm long.

Explanation:

To find the length of side AB you have to use this formula:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

*Remember there are two legs (a and b) and a hypotenuse (c) on a triangle. The longest side will be the hypotenuse and the other two will be the legs. For this triangle the hypotenuse is side BC while the legs are sides CA and side AB.

Plug in the numbers into the equation.

${65}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {97}^{2}$
For this triangle, you were given the hypotenuse (c) and one leg (a). To find the last length solve the equation and balance it so only b is left, like this:

$4225 + {b}^{2} = 9409$

$9409 - 4225 = 5184$

Soo...

${b}^{2} = 5184$

Then to get the side length, square root 5184.

$\sqrt{5184} = 72$

So the length of the last side is 72 cm.
