Answer: Orange = 5 rupee

Apple = 6 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of an orange be x

Let the cost of an apple be y

We can form an equation from the question given which will be:

5x + 3y = 43 ......... i

2x + 4y = 34 ......... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 5

10x + 6y = 86 ........ iii

10x + 20y = 170 ..... iv

Subtract iii from iv

14y = 84

y = 84/14

y = 6

An apple cost 6 rupees

Since from equation ii

2x + 4y = 34

2x + 4(6) = 34

2x + 24 = 34

2x = 34 - 24

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

An orange cost 5 rupee

Bailey got 7 bows for her birthday.At school,she lost a third of her bows.When she got home,she realized she had 42 bows left.Ho
mr Goodwill [35]
If she lost 1/3 of her bows and still had 42, that means she had 63 bows before school because 1/3 of 63 is 21 and 63-21=42. If she got 7 for her birthday then 63-7=56. She had 56 bows before her birthday

Jeff buys a car for $28,000. the vehicle depreciates by 16% each year. Which of the following is the common ratio of the sequenc
Yanka [14]
Find the value of the car in the next year
value next year = (100% - 16%) × 28,000
value next year = 84% × 28,000
value next year = 84/100 × 28,000
value next year = 23,520
The value of the car in the next year is $23,520

Find the ratio
ratio = value of next year/value of recent year
ratio = 23,520 / 28,000
ratio = 0.84
The ratio is 0.84, it's the same with the percentage of value in the next year (84%)

У = 4х – 1<br> у = 2х – 5<br> How do you solve this, by using substitution?!
solmaris [256]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute the value of y into y. The first equation shows that y is equal to 4x -1, so we can switch this with the y in the second equation.

y = 2x -5 will become

4x - 1 = 2x - 5

Add 5 to both sides

4x + 4 = 2x

Subtract 4x from both sides

4 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2

-2 = x

Now we plug this number into an equation to find y.

y = 4x - 1 becomes

y = 4(-2) - 1

Simplifying it, we have:

y = -8 - 1

y = -9
