<span>2(a+b)=c
2a + 2b = c
2b = c - 2a
b = (c - 2a)/a
answer
</span><span>D. b = (c−2a)/2 ; distribute 2 to get 2a+2b, subtract 2a, then divide by 2.</span>
Answer:
- apple: £0.20
- banana: £0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.
For this you divide the total spent by the total number of pizzas...
16.50/ 3 = $5.50 per pizza.
