Answer:
Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.
Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her
$ 
and
Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her
$ 
According to the question,
-----(1)
-----(2)
multiplying (1) by 2 we get,
-----(3)
Deducting (2) from (3) we get,
⇒ 
------------------(4)
Putting value of y in (1) we get,
⇒ 
------------(5)
One way to solve it is writing two equations based on the info so
y = 5x + 10 for members
y = 6x for nonmembers
(the + 10 isn't included in the second equation because nonmembers won't pay a membership fee)
and to find their intersection point (where the values will be the same), you just set them equal to each other:
5x + 10 = 6x
subtract 5x
x = 10 classes
The believe the answer is m=9.
2w + 8 = 13
Subtract 8 from both sides.
2w = 5
Divide both sides by 2.
w = 5/2
Option A would be your answer. We know 71 is the product. We also know that Sues age is one year less than half her mothers age. -1 comes from the problem saying one year less. We can already eliminate the other 3 options at this point.
