Answer:

one pound of apple cost $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount they both spent at the grocery store be y and x be the price of apples per pound.

Since Tara bought 5 pounds of apples, 5x = y (1) and Ashley bought 3 pounds of apples and $5 worth other groceries, 3x + 5 = y (2).

Equating both expressions, 5x = 3x + 5

collecting like terms,

5x - 3x = 5

2x = 5

dividing both sides by 2, we have

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

So one pound of apple cost $2.5

Hello everyone! I really need these two by Friday. & can you explain how you got the answer to the top one? Thank you all in
bixtya [17]
The answer to the first:

x>9 ⇒ x∈(9,+∞)
the graph shows that the x is bigger that 9 but IT CAN'T BE 9, we can tell that because the inner of the dot is white (if the inner of the dot was black too it would meant that the x would be bigger that 9 but it could be 9 as well).
I also inserted a picture which shows what I'm talking you about (just ignore the greek on the top).

the answer to the second:

4(3x)+7-5x-5+3y-y=
= 12x+7-5x-5+3y-y
=7x-2y+2
