Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say s is the cost per pound of strawberry and b is banana.

For Annie we have 9s + 10b = 103.

For Rob we have 9s + 9b = 99.

If you notice the only thing that changes on the left hand sides is a single b. This causes a change of 4 on the right hand side. From this we can see that b = 4. Substituting b=4 in Annie's line we get 9s + 40 = 103 so 9s = 63 so s = 7.

Strawberry costs $7 per pound and banana costs $4 per pound

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.

Martha has 8 cubic feet ofputting soil in the three flowerpots she wants to put the same amount of soil in each pot how many cub
frozen [14]

Answer:

2\frac{2}{3}\text{ ft}^3\approx 2.67\text{ ft}^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Martha has 8 cubic feet of putting soil in the 3 flowerpots. She wants to put the same amount of soil in each pot.

To find the amount of soil in each pot, we need to divide total soil (8 cubic feet) by number of pots (3) as shown below:

\text{Amount of soil in each pot}=\frac{8\text{ ft}^3}{3}

\text{Amount of soil in each pot}=2\frac{2}{3}\text{ ft}^3

\text{Amount of soil in each pot}=2.6666\text{ ft}^3

\text{Amount of soil in each pot}\approx 2.67\text{ ft}^3

Therefore, Martha needs to put approximately 2.67 cubic feet of soil in each flower pot.
