The answer is nine: 17 minus 8 is 9
Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let cost of apples = x
And cost of Oranges =y
Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Step 2
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Using substitution method to solve the equation
6 x + 3y= 24
24-6x=3y
y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x
Y= 8-2x
Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2
5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23
5x+ 32 -8x= 23
32-23= 8x-5x
9=3x
x=9/3
x=3
Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y
6 x + 3y= 24
6(3) +3y= 24
18+3y=24
3y= 24-18
3y=6
y=6/3= 2
Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
−189=4x−3(−4x+15)
−189=16x−45
16x−45=−189
16x−45+45=−189+45
16x=−144
16x
/16
=
−144
/16
x=−9
Good luck honey !!
