Answer:
The answer is 9 (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
I got 9 because you have to plug in answer (7, 9, 11, 8) in each equation than add them both together. I first plugged in 7 for x in the equation 9x-5. I got 58. I plugged in 7 for x in the equation 5x+12 and got 47. When I added both the answers together I got 105. The answer was to low because SU has to be 133. I plugged in 9 for x in both equations then added them both and got 133 for SU. I hope this helps.
Answer: 20 oranges and 5 mangoes
Step-by-step explanation:
Define the following:
x = number of oranges
y = number of mangoes
Make the following system of equations:
x + y = 25
0.35x + 1.00y = 12.00
Solve for x:
y = 25 - x
⇒ 0.35x + 1.00(25 - x) = 12.00
⇒ 0.35x + 25 - x = 12.00
⇒ -0.65x = -13.00
⇒ x = 20
Solve for y:
20 + y = 25
y = 5
∴ 20 oranges and 5 mangoes were purchased.
