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

Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

v = 336 {mm}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a triangular prism is

v =  \frac{1}{2} base \:  \times height \times length

From the diagram we are given we can see that

base = 8 \:  \:  \ \:  \:  \: height = 6 \\ length = 14

Therefore the volume of the triangular prism is

v =  (\frac{1}{2 }b  \times h)l \\ \\ v =  (\frac{1}{2} 8 \times 6)14\\  \\ v = 4 \times 6\times 14 \\ \\ v = 336  {mm}^{3}

You are supposed to distribute to only one term (the first).
Tom [10]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no distribution (unless you count substitution) in the second set of terms.

Edit: I think I get what your question is now. You are supposed to distribute to every term inside the parenthesis (false)
