Answer:

Number of apples = 6

Number of oranges = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

At a store, apples cost $0.80 each and oranges cost $0.95 each. Harry buys some apples and oranges and spends $9.55. He buys a total of 11 pieces of fruit.

Let

Number of apples = x

Number of oranges = y

x + y = 11 (1)

0.80x + 0.95y = 9.55 (2)

From (1)

x = 11 - y

Substitute into (2)

0.80x + 0.95y = 9.55 (2)

0.80(11 - y) + 0.95y = 9.55

8.8 - 0.80y + 0.95y = 9.55

- 0.80y + 0.95y = 9.55 - 8.8

0.15y = 0.75

y = 0.75/0.15

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (1)

x + y = 11 (1)

x + 5 = 11

x = 11 - 5

x = 6

Number of apples = 6

Number of oranges = 5

Ket [755]
A right triangle's longest side is the hypotenuse
let x=longest, y=middle, and z=shortest
x=y+2
y=2z-1
therefore x=(2z-1)+2=2z+1
find z
z^2+y^2=x^2 by Pythagorean theorem
plug in x and y in terms of z
z^2+(2z-1)^2=(2z+1)^2
z^2+4z^2-4z+1=4z^2+4z+1
subtract the right-hand side's value from the left-hand side's
z^2-8z=0
z(z-8)=0
z=0, 8
z cannot be zero as the sides must have some value to it.
Therefore the shortest side is equal to 8

Please i need help don't understand this problem.Trina and jessie went on vacation. Trina went scuba diving and reached an eleva
alexira [117]

I will explain this answer with the help of number line which i have shown below.

Considering sea level as starting point i.e origin i will depict how far Trina had gone below sea level and how much Jessie went above sea level.

Distance Traveled by Trina below sea level = - 85.5 meter

Distance Traveled by Jessie  above sea level =87.9 meter

Considering sea level as origin i.e 0

Total distance traveled by Trina= 0-(-85.5)=85.5 meter

Total distance Traveled by Jessie = 0+87.9=87.9 meter

So,Trina is nearer to sea level than Jessie.

Now Trina wants to hang glide at the same number of meters above sea level as she scuba dived below sea level.

Then Distance traveled by Trina=85.5 meter

No,she will not fly higher than Jessie because Jessie has traveled 87.9 meter.
