Answer:
- apple: £0.20
- banana: £0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = 2(L + W)
Where
L represents the length of the rectangle.
W represents the width of the rectangle.
A proper rectangle has a length of 6 inches and a with of 8 inches. The area of the rectangle would be
6 × 8 = 48 inches^2
A square with a side length of 3 inches was cut of it. The formula for determining the area of a square is l^2
Therefore,
Area of square = 3^2 = 9 inches ^2
The area of the remaining paper would be
48 - 9 = 39 inches^2
You said 2x - 9 < 7
Add 9 to each side: 2x < 16
Divide each side by 2 : x < 8 .
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The first equation is
The second equation is
We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by
We now subtract equation (3) from (2)
Multiply both sides by
Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .
Multiply to obtain
Multiply both sides by 2.
The solution is
