Nolan and his children bought fruits (Apples and bananas) worth $8.

Cost of each apple and bananas are $2 and $0.40 respectively.

Let the number of bananas he bought = y

And the number of apples = x

Therefore, cost of the apples =$2x

And the cost of bananas = $0.40y

Total cost of 'x' apples and 'y' bananas = $(2x + 0.40y)

Equation representing the total cost of fruits will be,

(2x + 0.40y) = 8

10(2x + 0.40y) = 10(8)

20x + 4y = 80

5x + y = 20 --------(1)

If he bought 5 times as many bananas as apples,

y = 5x ------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1),

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2)

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Therefore, Nolan bought 2 apples and 10 bananas.

givi [52]

Answer: 6

A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.

In this case we want to find the coefficient that has x. 6 is the only coefficient in the expression 6x + 9y + 15z that has the coefficient of x.

Basically, a coefficient is simply a number that has a variable after it.
