Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

Ryan bought 6 apples and 9 peaches for a total of $7.86. Madi bought 4 apples and 5 peaches for $4.82.
sergey [27]
Let's call:
a = price of 1 apple
p = price of 1 peach

The total cost is the price of 1 apple times the number of apples plus the price of 1 peach times the number of peaches, therefore the system can be:
\left \{ {{6a + 9p = 7.86} \atop {4a + 5p = 4.82}} \right.

Solve for a in the second equation (you can choose to solve for any of the variables in any of the equations, try to understand what is the best):
a = (4.82 - 5p) / 4

Now, substitute in the first equation:
6 · (4.82 - 5p) / 4 + 9p = 7.86
7.23 - (15/2)p + 9p = 7.86
(3/2)p = 0.63
p = 0.42

Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
<span>a = (4.82 - 5·0.42) / 4</span>
   = 0.68

Therefore, one apple costs 0.68$ and one peach costs 0.42$.
