Answer:

20 apples, 32 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a for number of apples and p for number of pears, you get a+p=52 (amount) and 0.4a+0.5p=24 (cost).

One way of solving simultaneous equations is using like terms and adding/subtracting them to remove a variable. There aren't any like terms here, but we can create some by multiplying terms.

Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives 0.8a+p=48, so that makes a like term.

Since the symbols are the same in front of the like term, we subtract the second term from the first one. This gives 0.2a=4.

Dividing by 0.2 gives a=20.

We can sub this into either equation to get the value of p.

a+p=52, so 20+p=52, meaning p=32.

**This content involves simultaneous equations, which you may want to revise. I'm always happy to help!

Juli2301 [7.4K]

20 Answer: a₁ = 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a_n=324,\ r=3,\ n=5\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\324=a_1\cdot 3^{5-1}\\\\\dfrac{324}{3^4}=a_1\\\\\dfrac{324}{81}=a_1\\\\\large\boxed{4}=a_1

21 Answer: n = 13

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a_n=\dfrac{1}{64},\ a_1=64,\ r=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64}=64\cdot \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{64\cdot 64}=\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^6\cdot 2^6}=\dfrac{1}{2^{n-1}}\\\\6+6=n-1\\\\\large\boxed{13}=n

22 Answer: n = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a_n=48,\ a_1=1875\ r=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\a_n=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\48=1875\cdot \bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{48}{1875}=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\dfrac{16}{625}=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}}\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^4=\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)^{n-1}}\\\\4=n-1\\\\\large\boxed{5}=n

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
