Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

Answer:175
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Turn 28% into a decima: 0.28
2. Multiply 1250 by 0.28 to get the amount of ninth grade students:350
3. Half the amount of ninth grade students:175
Answer:
<h3>Hence required integers are 11 and 13</h3>
Let x an odd positive integer
Then, according to question
x^2 +(x+2)^2=290
2x^2 +4x−286=0
x^2 +2x−143=0
x ^2+13x−11x−143=0
(x+13)(x−11)=0
x=11 as x is positive
Hence required integers are 11 and 13

Answer:
114
Step-by-step explanation:
Since DE and EF are equal, DEF is an isosceles triangles.
In isosceles triangle, two angles are equal.
So,
∠F = ∠D = 33
Sum of interior angles in a triangles is 180,
∠D + ∠F + ∠E = 180
33 + 33 + ∠E = 180
∠E = 180 - 33 - 33
∠E = 114
Both questions make use of the formula for the area of a triangle:
.. A = (1/2)*b*h
23. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. A = (1/2)*x*7 . . . . substitute the given values
.. A = 3.5x . . . . . . . simplified
24. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. 84.5 = (1/2)*13*h . . . . . substitute the given values
.. 2*84.5/13 = h = 13 . . . .solve for h
The height of the triangle is 13 cm.
