Elizabeth runs a farm stand that sells apples and raspberries. Each pound of apples sells for $2.25 and each pound of raspberrie
s sells for $1.50. Elizabeth sold 32 more pounds of raspberries than pounds of apples and made $108 altogether. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of pounds of apples sold, x, and the number of pounds of raspberries sold,y.
In order for the curve to move upwards from left to right as shown the log and x values need to be negatives. The curved line crosses the x axis to the right of the origin, so there needs to be a positive value added to x.
