So for this system, one equation will represent the number of fruit and the other equation will represent the combined total of the fruit. (Let x = apples and y = bananas):
Next, I will be using the substitution method to remove one of the variables. To do this, firstly subtract both sides by y in the first equation:
Next, since we know that x is equal to 20 - y, substitute it into the second equation and solve for y:
Now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

<u>In short, Angelo bough 14 apples and 6 bananas.</u>
Answer:
- x-intercept (12.5, 0)
- y-intercept (0, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is ...
... (change in y)/(change in x) = (-3 -(-5))/(5 - 0) = 2/5
The y-intercept is given: (0, -5).
The slope-intercept form of the equation can be written from this information as ...
... y = (2/5)x - 5
Solving this for y=0 (to find the x-intercept), we have
... 0 = (2/5)x - 5
... 5 = (2/5)x
... 5·(5/2) = x = 12.5
So, the x-intercept is 12.5, and the y-intercept (given) is -5.
