Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer should be 65. The number be added is doubled. +4,+8, +16, +32 So 32+33=65 65+64=129
Idk sorry I would answer if I did but I need points to ask a question
Answer:
B: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into separate rectangles! It will make the problem much easier. You can split it so that you will have a 12 x 3 rectangle and a 6 x 6 rectangle because you subtract 3 from 9 and subtract 6 from 12.
12 x 3 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
36 + 36 = 72
Let me know if you're still confused!
