Answer 1

Answer:

option C 2*x + 3*y = 7.20

4 *x + 2*y = 8.80

1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A

Steve

2lbs of grapefruit

3lbs oranges for $7.20

kennedy

4lb grapefruit

2lb oranges for $8.80

price 1 pound grapefruit x

1 pound oranges y

Then for steve

2*x + 3*y = 7.20

for kennedy

4 *x + 2*y = 8.80

PART B

now we have to find y from above equations

2x + 3y = 7.20   multiply by 2 on both sides 4x + 6y = 14.4

4x + 2y = 8.80

next by substracting the above two equations we get

6y - 2y = 14.4 - 8.80

4y = 5.6

y = 1.4
