Answer:

(a)

3b + 4g =10.25

2b + 2g = 5.50

(b)

1 pound of banana = $0.75

1 pound of grape = $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent banana with b and grapes with g.

From the first statement, we have:

3b + 4g =10.25

From the second, we have:

2b + 2g = 5.50

Solving (a): The equations

This has been solved above.

The equations are:

3b + 4g =10.25

2b + 2g = 5.50

Solving (b):

3b + 4g =10.25 --- (1)

2b + 2g = 5.50 --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2b + 2g = 5.50 * 2

4b + 4g = 11 ----- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

3b - 4b + 4g - 4g = 10.25 - 11

-b  =-0.75

b  =0.75

Substitute 0.75 for b in (2)

2b + 2g = 5.50

2 *0.75 + 2g = 5.5

1.5 + 2g = 5.5

Collect Like Terms

2g = 5.5 - 1.5

2g = 4

g = 2

The problem tells you that a circle with radius 21 inches is painted in two colors. The two colors cover equal areas, so each color is half the area of the circle. You need to find half of the area of the circle. To do that, use the formula for the area of a circle, and then divide by 2.

A = \pi r^2

A = 3.14 \times 21~ inches \times 21~inches

A = 1384.74~square ~inches

Half the circle has area 1384.74 square inches / 2 = 692.37 square inches.

Answer: Each color covers 692.37 square inches.

(A3- 2a2) - ( 3a2- 4a3)
Tanzania [10]
If you would like to calculate (a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3), you can do this using the following steps:

(a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3) = a^3 - 2 * a^2 - 3 * a^2 + 4 * a^3 = 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2

The correct result would be 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2.
