Answer:

<u><em>The price of an apple = $ 3.30</em></u>

<u><em>The price of an orange = $ 2</em></u>

Step by step solution:

<em><u>A fruit stand has to decide what to charge for their produce.</u></em>

<em>1. They need $ 5.30 for 1 apple and 1 orange.</em>

<em>2. They also need $ 7.30 for 1 apple and 2 oranges.</em>

A. To put this information into a system of linear equations.

B.We need to find a unique price for an apple and an orange.

<em><u>So we'll use X and Y to find our answer.</u></em>

Apple = x                        Orange = y

A. The first condition that they need $ 5.30 for 1 apple and 1 orange we get

<u><em> - Equation 1 - </em></u>

<em>To retrace our steps from the second condition they need $7.30 for 1 apple and 2 oranges, that we get.</em>

<u><em>- Equation 2 -</em></u>

<em>The required set of Linear Equations are...</em>

<em>1. x + y = 5.30</em>

<em>2. x + 2y = 7.30</em>

<u><em>Equation 2 & Equation 1</em></u>

<u>We get...</u>

y = 2

<u><em>From Equation 1</em></u>

<u>We get...</u>

x = 5.30 - 2 = 3.30

<u><em>So when we put it all together...</em></u>

<u>We get...</u>

1. The price of an apple = $ 3.30

2. The price of an orange = $ 2

Answer:

A fruit stand has to decide what to charge for their produce.

They need $ 5.30 for 1 apple and 1 orange.

They also need $ 7.30 for 1 apple and 2 oranges.

TO DETERMINE

To put this information into a system of linear equations.

TO find a unique price for an apple and an orange

EVALUATION

Let the price of an apple = x and price of an orange = y

So From the first condition that they need $ 5.30 for 1 apple and 1 orange we get

\sf{x + y = 5.30}x+y=5.30 - - - - Equation 1

Again from second condition that they need $ 7.30 for 1 apple and 2 oranges we get

\sf{x + 2y = 7.30}x+2y=7.30 - - - - Equation 2

So the required Set of linear equations are

x + y = 5.30

x + 2y = 7.30

Equation (2) - Equation (1) we get

y = 2

From Equation (1) we get

x = 5.30 - 2 = 3.30

Hence price of an apple = $ 3.30

The price of an orange = $ 2

He should receive around $21.88. This is excluding the fact he still needs to pay the sales tax. I would subtract a few more dollars.

Steps to solve:

x - 5/8 = 1/8

~Add 5/8 to both sides

x = 6/8 or x = 3/4

Best of Luck!

Point A is at (4,5) and lies on the graph of quadratic function f.
sveta [45]
We know that

g(x)=f(2x)
the transformation of f(x) to------------> f(2x)

means that point  (a,b) in graph of  f(x) becomes a point  (a/2,b) in graph of f(2x)

therefore
point A  (4,5)-----> becomes a point (4/2,5)-----> (2,5) in the graph of g(x)

the answer  
the point is (2,5)
