Answer:

the cost of 3 apples and 7 oranges be £15 and £35 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the apple be x

And, the oranges be y

Now according to the question

5x + 4y = £45

And,

2x + 8y = £50

Multiply by 2 in equation 1

So,

10x + 8y = £90

2x + 8y = £50

8x = £40

x = £5

And, y be

5(£5) + 4y = £45

£25 + 4y = £45

4y = 20

y = £5

So, the cost of 3 apples and 7 oranges be £15 and £35 respectively

Can you write a 5 sentence summary about the substitution method?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.

Tell whether each scale reduces enlarges or preserves the size of an actual object
mr_godi [17]

Given:

1 m : 25 cm

8 in : 1 ft

12 in : 1 ft

 

First, we convert each variable given on the right:

 

1 m : 0.25 m (this means that 1 meter is made to represent 25 cm)

8 in : 12 feet (this means that 8 in is made to represent 1 feet)

12 in : 12 in (this means that 12 in is made to represent 1 feet)

 

<span>After converting the variables, we can now know if the ratios are enlargement, reduction or preservation. Therefore:

1 m : 25 cm = Enlarge</span>

<span>8 in : 12 feet = Reduce
12 in = 1 ft = Preserve</span>
