Answer:
The number of apples bought was 7 and the number of pears bought was 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
Thanh bought 11 pieces of fruit and spent $5.60. If apples cost $0.60 each and pears cost $0.35 each, how many of each kind of fruit did he buy?
Let
x ---->the number of apples bought
y ----> the number of pears bought
we know that
Thanh bought 11 pieces of fruit
so
----> equation A
apples cost $0.60 each and pears cost $0.35 each and Thanh spent $5.60
so
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
Using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (7,4)
see the attached figure
therefore
The number of apples bought was 7 and the number of pears bought was 4
Answer:
x-coordinate = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(-10,1) , (5,-5)
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = ( -5 - 1 ) / ( 5 - [-10] )
= -6 / ( 5 + 10)
= -6/15 = -2/5
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 1 = (-2/5) ( x - [-10] )
y - 1 = (-2/5) ( x + 10 )
5 * (y -1) = -2 (x + 10)
5y - 5 = -2x -20
2x + 20 + 5y -5 = 0
2x + 5y + 15 = 0
Another point (a, -3) in on this line
2 * a + 5 * (-3) = -15
2a -15 = -15
2a = -15 +15
2a = 0
a = 0
x-coordinate = 0
