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

You get them either thrift or wrong
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find out how many cabinets it is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Weight of the package = weight of product + weight of box
Weight of empty box =0.88lb
Total weight of the box is =7.24lb
Let Weight of product inside box=w
Let wet of empty box =y
Total weight = F
Then,
F=y+w
Since F=7.24lb. y=0.88
Then, w=F-y
w=7.24-0.88
w=6.36lb
The weight of the product is 6.36lb
