amounts of fruit you could buy. If you buy 10 pounds of bananas, how many pounds of
apples would it be possible to buy?
A linear equation is written to represent the cost of buying different amounts of fruit. If one buys 10 pounds of bananas, they could also afford to buy approximately 3.24 pounds of apples.
The esential first step here is to write a linear equation that can represent the different amounts of fruits you could buy. Let's denote the pounds of bananas and apples as b and a respectively. The cost per pound of bananas and apples can be represented as 0.49b and 0.34a respectively. The total cost is $6.00. Hence the equation becomes:
0.49b + 0.34a = 6.00
With this equation, we can calculate the possible pounds of apples you could buy with 10 pounds of bananas. Substitute b = 10 into the equation:
0.49(10) + 0.34a = 6.00
4.9 + 0.34a = 6.00
By subtracting 4.9 from both sides of the equation and then dividing by 0.34, we can solve for a:
a ≈ 3.24
Therefore, with 10 pounds of bananas, it would be possible to buy approximately 3.24 pounds of apples with the remaining amount of money.

Hey there!
We can solve inequalities just like equations. There is only one difference though. If you ever multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you "flip" the inequality sign.
First, let's undo the parentheses.
2x-24+24<4x+20
We simplify.
2x<4x+20
We subtract 4x from both sides.
-2x<20
We divide both sides by -2 (we will need to flip the inequality sign).
x>-10
I hope this helps!
