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

Find the value of x in each case:<br><br>(Will give brainliest)
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x= 22.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠DEA= ∠BAE (alt. ∠s, DE// AB)

Substitute ∠DEA= 2x:

∠BAE= 2x

∠AEB +∠BEF= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

Substitute ∠BEF= 4x:

∠AEB +4x= 180°

∠AEB= 180° -4x

∠ABE +∠CBE= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

Substitute ∠CBE= 6x:

∠ABE +6x= 180°

∠ABE= 180° -6x

∠BAE +∠AEB +∠ABE= 180° (∠ sum of triangle)

2x +180° -4x +180° -6x= 180°

-8x +360°= 180°

8x= 360° -180°

8x= 180°

x= 180° ÷8

x= 22.5°
