Answer:

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

HELP ASAP
joja [24]

Answer: The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution A = -5 is not viable because A represents the amount of sale in dollars and so cannot be a negative number. The minimum amount that a person can make from sales is $0 so anything less than that is not viable.

For instance, if you are selling shoes for $4 each and make no sales in the day, your sales would be $0. It is not possible that your sales would be -$4.

PLEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU IT IS EASY Consider the two groups listed below. Which statement describes the sets? (2 points) ho
miskamm [114]
Note that mailing address is unique, but houses are not, meaning that you can't have house A and house B both referencing the same address.

So, in order to have a valid function, any two points on the function cannot have the same x value that lands on different y.

With this property mentioned, it's clear to see that
(house, address) is NOT a function; however, (address, house) is a function, since same x lands on multiple y values is a valid onto function. (a house that have multiple addresses)
