Equation=2a+3b=$14
=4a+5b=$24

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 2 to get the value of b....
8a+12b=56 -
8a+10b=48
2b=8
b=$4
If the price of an orange is $4 we can now find the price of an apple by
.................2a+(3*$4)=$14
............2a+12=14........2a=2
a=1
So the cost of an apple is $1 and that of an orange is $4
......Hope it helps you

Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (8,1)
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the points is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 1-2)/(8-5)

   = -1/3

The slope that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal which is

- ( 1/(-1/3)

+ 3/1

The perpendicular slope is 3

Given f(x) = -3x + 21, find x when f(x) = 6.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = - 3x + 21 and f(x) = 6, then equating gives

- 3x + 21 = 6 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5
