Answer:
a = 5 or a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags
*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag
= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag
STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed
*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX
calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag
= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag
ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.

If o<span>n a coordinate grid, Ming's house is located 2 blocks to the right and (I suppose also 2) blocks up from (0. 0), then the ordered pair that describes the location of Ming's house is (2,2) (moving right 2 units from some point you have to add 2 units to the x-coordinate of the point from which you are moving and moving up 2 units from this point you have to add 2 units to y-coordinate of the point from which you are moving up).
