Answer:

One orange costs $1.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two variables, you have to set up a 2 variable equation.

Let's let a = apples and o = oranges.

So, we can set up this problem as:

5a + 4o = 11.80

1a  + 6o = 9.90

You can solve a 2-variable equation using either elimination or substitution. Here, I think it's easier to use substitution. To do that we have to substitute one variable with an equation that uses only the other so that we only have one variable.

We can manipulate our second equation so that it is:

a = 9.90 - 6o

Then, we can plug this in for a in the first equation. So,

5 (9.90 - 6o) + 4o = 11.80

49.5 -30o +4o = 11.80  (Distribute the 5)

49.5 - 26o = 11.80  (Combine like terms)

-26o = -37.7 (Subtract 49.5 from both sides)

o = 1.45 (Divide by -26)

o = 1.45

So, an orange costs $1.45.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: 4.2495 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Rate of change (speed) when rock hits the lake surface = - 3in/s

Distance or depth after 5 seconds :

Distance = rate of change * time

Distance = (- 3 in/s × 5) = - 15 inches

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

15 inches = (-15 * 0.0833) = - 1.2495 feets

Distance between Lisa's hand and lake surface = 3 feets :

Distance between Lisa's hand and rock after 5 seconds :

(3 feets + 1.2495 feets) = 4.2495 feets
