the most money a housing expert would advise her to spend on a monthly mortgage payment would be 1,645
The GCF of the first two is 4p³q².The GCF of the second two is 8pq⁵.The GCF of the third two is 4p²q⁵.The GCF of the fourth two is 8p²q.The GCF of the fifth two is 4p²q.
To find the GCF of each pair, find the greatest number that will divide into each coefficient. As for the variable portions, choose the variable that has the smallest exponent from each pair.
Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.
_____
<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
