Answer:

One avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where t is the number of tomatoes and a is the number of avocados:

4t + 8a = 10

6t + 14a = 17

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:

12t + 24a = 30

-12t - 28a = -34

Add them together and solve for a:

-4a = -4

a = 1

Plug in 1 as a into one of the equations and solve for t:

4t + 8a = 10

4t + 8(1) = 10

4t + 8 = 10

4t = 2

t = 0.5

So, one avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax² + bx + c

Plug the points into the equation to get a system of 3 equations with 3 unknowns a, b, and c.

-27 = 4a - 2b + c

-42 = 9a + 3b + c

-12 = a + b + c

(a,b,c) = (-4,1,-9)

y = -4x² + x - 9
