Answer:

the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the statement we can make a system of 2x2 equations, where:

"x" is the area of the first field

"y" is the area of the second field

However,

x + y = 56 => x = 56 - y

3/4 * x + 2/3 * y = 40

replacing we have:

3/4 * (56 - y) + 2/3 * y = 40

42 - 3/4 * y + 2/3 * y = 40

-0.0833 * y = 40 - 42

y = -2 / -0.0833

y = 24

now for x:

 x = 56 - 24

x = 32

This means that the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The two linear equation

x + y = 19.... Equation 1

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65... Equation 2

Nedra purchased

9 Apples and 11 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. which two linear equations can be used to find the number of apples and oranges?

Let the number of apples be represented by x

The number of oranges by represented by y.

Hence,

Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total of $12.65 for 19 pieces of fruit,

Hence:

x + y = 19..... Equation 1

x = 19 - y

$0.55 × x + $0.75 × y = $12.65

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65.....Equation 2

Hence: we substitute 19 - y for x in Equation 2

0.55(19 - y) + 0.75y = 12.65

10.45 - 0.55y + 0.75y = 12.65

-0.55y+ 0.75y = 12.65 - 10.45

0.20y = 2.2

y = 2.2/0.20

y = 11 oranges

x = 19 - y

x = 19 - 11

x = 8 Apples
