Coby sells apples and bananas at his fruit store. He charges $6 for a bunch of bananas, and $8 for a pound of apples. If a custo

Over [174]

Answer:

6 bunches of bananas
7 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.

Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...

6B +8(13 -B) = 92

-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B

13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples

The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.

Please help answering questions 215 and 216.

Problem 215

Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.

We have this mapping:

A <--> C

B <--> D

C <--> E

This means...

Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)

Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)

Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)

It also means...

Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)

Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)

Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)

Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

============================================

Problem 216

Answer: True

Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.

Paulo's economics course requires two papers ? ?one long and one short ? ?throughout the semester. The number of pages, l l, in

mixer [17]

Answer:

27 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the number of pages in the long paper and s be the number of pages in the short paper.

We have been given that the total number of pages for both papers is 40. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$l+s=40...(1)$

We are also told that the number of pages in the long paper is one more than two times the number of pages in the short paper. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$l=2s+1...(2)$
