4(y - 7) = 2y - 38
4y - 28 = 2y - 38
4y - 2y = -38 + 28
2y = -10
y = -5
Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.
Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p
Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32
The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32
16 is the answer to this question.
The general equation of a circle is
(x-a) ^ 2 + (y-b) ^ 2 = r ^ 2
for this case the values of a and b are
a = 2
b = 0
The radius of the circle is
r ^ 2 = 14
r = (14) ^ (1/2) = 3.74
Slope of the line will be -3/2
