Apples are $0.68 and peaches are $0.42.
To find these values, we need to write and solve the following system of equations.
6x + 9y = 7.86
4x + 5y = 4.82
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3.
12x + 18y = 15.72
-12x - 15y = 14.46
Add the equations together.
3y = 1.26
y = 0.42
Sub in 0.72 and solve for x in either equation and you will get x = 0.68.
8, 10, 12
A helpful equation:
x+x+1+x+2 = 30
Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 30
Subtract 3 from each side
3x = 27
Divide each side by to isolate x
x = 9
x = 9. However, 9 is not an even number. Let’s subtract 1 from 9 to get the first even number.
The first number is 8. The best two even numbers after 8 are 10 and 12.
8 + 10 + 12 = 30, thus this is the sequence.
x 12
the 12 in the numerator (top) and the 12 in the denominator (bottom) cross out so you are left with 50.
Answer: 50
You can write a system of equations, I'm pretty sure.
the first equation would be
10a+3f+.5c=100
and
a+f+c=100
For the first equation, its the price of each ticket that adds up to 100 tickets
For the second equation, its the amount of people that adds up to 100 people.
I'm pretty sure this is the route to go but I haven't solved it for myself (yet) I'll probably comment the answer if you need me to
