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

Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH. What is the length of<br> segment BC?
prohojiy [21]
So Basically, these are similar. So that means that (2x/5.5)=(3x-3/7.5). Then when you cross multiply, you find that x=11. So that means BA/FE=22/5.5=4. You can verify by checking (3*11-3)/7.4=4. So now that you know the scale factor is 4, just do 4*8=32.

A submarine cruises underwater at 20 km/h and on
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

System of equations:

20x + 30y = 650

x + y = 25

Time underwater = 10 hours

Time at the surface = 15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time underwater at 20 km/h.

Let y = time on the surface at 30 km/h.

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

distance underwater: 20x

distance on the surface: 30y

total distance: 650

20x + 30y = 650

total time: x + y

total time: 25

x + y = 25

20x + 30y = 650

x + y = 25

20x + 30y = 650

-20x - 20y = -500

--------------------------------

          10y = 150

              y = 15

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

x = 10
