Answer:

$6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1: In this explanation, let's let one watermelon be w, and one orange be o.

2: From the passage, 1w + 5o = $11.

3: Also from the passage, 3w + 5o = $24.50

4: We can then use a simultaneous equation to work them out - both equations we have use 5 oranges.

3w + 5o = 24.5 (equation 1)

1w + 5o = 11 (equation 2)

5: We can now take the second equation away from the first :

3w - 1w = 2w, 5o - 5o = 0, 24.5 - 11 = 13.5

Now we know 2w = 13.5

6: If 2w = $13.50, one watermelon will be half of that, so $6.75

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions :)

-3y = x...so we sub in -3y for x in the other equation

-x + 7y = 70
-(-3y) + 7y = 70
3y + 7y = 70
10y = 70
y = 70/10
y = 7

so we sub in 7 for y in either of the original equations to find x
-3y = x
-3(7) = x
-21 = x

so ur solution is (-21,7)
