The cost , in dollars, for 3 pounds of oranges is 1.8
Solution:
Given that Monica paid 3.20 for 2 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges
Sarah paid 4.40 for 2 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges.
Let the cost of orange per pound = x
Let the cost of apple per pound = y
Therefore, we can frame an equation as follows for Monica and Sarah:
In Monica’s case:
2x + 2y = 3.20
Hence x + y = 1.6 ---- eqn 1
In Sarah’s case:
4x + 2y = 4.40
Hence 2x + y = 2.2
y = 2.2 -2x – eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1 we get,
x + 2.2 -2x = 1.6
-x = 1.6-2.2 = -0.6
x = 0.6
Substituting the value of “x” in eqn 2 we get the value of “y” as 1
Thus the cost of orange per pound is 0.6
Therefore, cost of 3 pounds of oranges = 3 × 0.6 = 1.8
Answer:
The solution in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of candy pack that Brian can buy
y ---> the number of gum pack that Brian can buy
we know that
The inequality that represent this situation is
The solution is the shaded area below the solid line
The slope of the solid line is negative
using a graphing tool
The solution is the shaded area
Remember that the value of x and the value of y cannot be a negative number
see the attached figure
Answer: x < -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide -x by 2, and you get -2 making -x turn into a positive x, and since the answer is negative, the inequality flips from right > to left. <
It is a CLOSED circle going left.
Hope this helps :)
