Cherries $5 per pound and oranges per pound$2. He paid 18.00 for total weight which was 6 lbs how many pounds of cherries did Al
wel
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: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

Kyle works at a donut​ factory, where a​ 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95cents​, a​ 14-oz cup costs​ $1.15, and a​ 20-oz cup costs​
choli [55]
Let x = no. of 10 oz cups sold
Let y = no. of 14 oz cups sold
Let z = no. of 20 oz cups sold
:
Equation 1: total number of cups sold:
x + y + z = 24
:
Equation 2: amt of coffee consumed:
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
:
Equation 3: total revenue from cups sold
.95x + 1.15y + 1.50z = 30.60
:
Mult the 1st equation by 20 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
20x + 20y + 20z = 480
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
------------------------ subtracting eliminates z
10x + 6y = 96; (eq 4)

Mult the 1st equation by 1.5 and subtract the 3rd equation from it:
1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z = 36.00
.95x + 1.15y+ 1.5z = 30.60
---------------------------subtracting eliminates z again
.55x + .35y = 5.40; (eq 5)

Multiply eq 4 by .055 and subtract from eq 5:
.55x + .35y = 5.40
.55x + .33y = 5.28
--------------------eliminates x
0x + .02y = .12
y = .12/.02
y = 6 ea 14 oz cups sold 

Substitute 6 for y for in eq 4
10x + 6(6) = 96
10x = 96 - 36
x = 60/10
x = 6 ea 10 oz cups

That would leave 12 ea 20 oz cups (24 - 6 - 6 = 12)

Check our solutions in eq 2:
10(6) + 14(6) + 20(12) =
60 + 84 + 240 = 384 oz

A lot steps, hope it made some sense! I hope this helps!! ;D
