Answer: apples = 7 and bananas = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number  of apples and y represent the number of banana,

and it was said that the total apples and bananas altogether is 15 , that is

x + y = 15 ................. equation 1

Also,

1.25x + 0.40y = 11.95 ............. equation 2

Solving the two equations simultaneously ,

From the first equation, x = 15 - y ........... equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2, we have

1.25(15 - y) + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 1.25y + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 0.85y = 11.95

18.75 - 11.95 = 0.85y

6.8 = 0.85y

therefore y = 6.8/0.85

= 8

substitute y = 8 , into equation 3

x = 15 - 8

x = 7

Therefore , she bought 7 apples and 8 banana

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 11 x + StartFraction 121 Over 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 125 Over 4 EndFraction.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● x^2 + 11x + 121/4 = 125/4

Substract 125/4 from both sides:

● x^2 + 11x + 121/4-125/4= 125/4 -125/4

● x^2 + 11x - (-4/4) = 0

● x^2 +11x -(-1) = 0

● x^2 + 11 x + 1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation so we will use the determinanant (b^2-4ac)

● a = 1

● b = 11

● c = 1

● b^2-4ac = 11^2-4*1*1 = 117

So this equation has two solutions:

● x = (-b -/+ √(b^2-4ac) ) / 2a

● x = (-11 -/+ √(117) ) / 2

● x = (-11 -/+ 3√(13))/ 2

● x = -0.91 or x = -10.9

Round to the nearest unit

● x = -1 or x = -11

The solutions are { -1,-11}
