Answer:
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds
p = apple pounds
b = banana pounds
<u>Cost</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
<u>Pounds</u>
p + b = 3.8
<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>
p + b = 3.8
b = -p + 3.8
<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) = 5.84
<u>distribute / multiply .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>
1.90p + -.75p + 2.85 = 5.84
<u>Combine the p values</u>
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
The answer is C. f(x) = 0.05
Answer:
Cost =$3
Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24 + 51
Required
Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual
24 + 51
[Factorize]
3(8 + 17)
The above can't be factored any further.
Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.
Cost = $3
This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets
Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
The answer is 7.5 centimeters
