D) (10 x 55) + (10 x 55) + (10 x 55) + (10 x 55)
use distributive rule to factor out 55:
55 (10+10+10+10) = 55×40
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

The 3 in the hundreds place (value of 300) has a value that is 10x the 3 in the tens (value of 30).
Answer:
11a + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 : 8a + 3 - 5a - 2a
error => - 5a
8a - (- 3 - 5a) - 2a =
= 8a + 3 + 5a - 2a
= (8a + 5a - 2a) + 3
= 11a + 3
