Question

At a farmer’s market, Khalid bought 4 pounds of tomatoes and 7 pounds of broccoli for $28. Genevieve bought 5 pounds of tomatoes and 2 pounds of broccoli for $28.50. Let t represent the cost of one pound of tomatoes. Let b represent the cost of one pound of broccoli. Which system of equations will solve for t and b?

Answer 1

Answer:

The system of equations is equal to

$4t+7b=28$

$5t+2b=28.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t------> the cost of one pound of tomatoes

b-----> the cost of one pound of broccoli

we know that

$4t+7b=28$ -----> equation A

$5t+2b=28.50$ -----> equation B

using a graphing tool

The solution of the system of equations is equal to the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is $(5.32,0.96)$

see the attached figure

therefore

$t=\ 5.32$----> the cost of one pound of tomatoes

$b=\ 0.96$ ----> the cost of one pound of broccoli

Answer 2

Hey fellow student lol, the answer is 4t+7b=28 and 5t+2b=28.50. I hope this is what you were looking for :D
