Answer:

  $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables A, B, C, D represent a sack of apples, a bunch of bananas, a cantaloupe, and a carton of dates, respectively. Then the problem statement gives rise to 3 equations:

  A +B +C +D = 20

  D = 2A

  C = A -B

Substituting the last two equations into the first gives ...

  A +B + (A -B) +2A = 20

  4A = 20 . . . simplify

  A = 5 . . . . . divide by 4

Substituting this into the last equation, we have ...

  C = 5 -B

  B + C = 5 . . . . add B

The cost to purchase a bunch of bananas and a cantaloupe is $5.

Answer:29

so the mini triangle in the corner is a mini model of the entire triangle, all you have to do is take the width or bottom number and find the factor in which it is smaller, then take the height of the smaller triangle and add the factor in which it increases to it. so the factor goes up by 31 1/2--9=22 1/2 and adding the factor in which it increases to the height is 22 1/2+6 1/2=29 because 2 halfs make a whole.

A farmer owns 1,000 acres. The farmer buys farms of 120 acres, 160 acres, and 700 acres and sells one farm of 190 acres. How man
vredina [299]

Answer : The area of land a farmer own now is, 1790 acres

Step-by-step explanation :

Area of land a farmer owns = 1000 acres

Total area of land farmer buy = 120 acres + 160 acres + 700 acres

Total area of land farmer buy = 980 acres

Area of land a farmer sells = 190 acres

Thus, the remaining area of land a farmer has = Total area of land farmer buy -  Area of land a farmer sells

The remaining area of land a farmer has = 980 acres - 190 acres

The remaining area of land a farmer has = 790 acres

Now we have to determine the area of land a farmer own now.

Area of land a farmer own now = 1000 acres + 790 acres

Area of land a farmer own now = 1790 acres

Therefore, the area of land a farmer own now is, 1790 acres
