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

Elden [556K]

Answer:

10.4^2 = 108.16

Step-by-step explanation:

10.4^2 = 10.4 * 10.4

10.4 * 10.4 = (10 * 10.4) + (0.4 * 10.4)

(10 * 10.4) + (0.4 * 10.4) = (104) + (4.16)

(104) + (4.16) = 108.16

Which domain restrictions apply to the rational expression?
dimulka [17.4K]

1) it must be fulfilled that the denominator is different from zero, then for this expression

x^2 -9  ⇒ x^2-3^2 = (x-3)(x+3)⇒ (x-3)(x+3) = 0 ⇒ x = 3 o x = -3 , the dominium is all numbers reals except 3 and -3
