Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.

Answer:
vertex = (- 5, - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= - 
Given x² + 10x = - 17 ( add 17 to both sides )
x² + 10x + 17 = 0 ← in standard form
with a = 1, b = 10, c = 17, then
= - 
= - 5
Substitute x = - 5 into the quadratic for the corresponding value of y
y = (- 5)² + 10(- 5) + 17 = 25 - 50 + 17 = - 8
Hence vertex = (- 5, - 8)

Correct answer choice is B.
Answer:
1232 m^3 to nearest whole number.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone = 1/3 π r^2 h where r = radius of base and h = height.
The radius of the base = 1/2 * 14 = 7m.
The height can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem:
25^2 = h^2 + 7^2
h^2 = 625 - 49 = 576
h = √576 = 24m
So the volume = 1/3 π * 7^2 * 24
= 1231.504 m^3.
