We went to the market to buy some fruit. We decided to buy some apples, strawberries, and oranges. If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30. If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90. If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70. Use the Gaussian Elimination Method to solve for the price of each fruit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of apples bought be x
Amount of strawberries bought be y and;
amount of oranges bought be z
If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30, then this will be expressed as;
2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1
If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90, this will be expressed as:
4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2
If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70, this is expressed as:
5x+2y+x = 13.70 .......... 3
Solving the three equations simultaneously:
2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1
4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2
5x+2y+z = 13.70 .......... 3
Reduce the number of equations
multiply equation 1 by 2 and subtract from equation 2
equation 1 * 2 will give:
4x+6y+8z = 30.6 ........... 4
eqn (4)-eqn(2)
6y-y + 8z-2z = 30.6-10.90
5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5
Also multiply equation 2 by 5 and eqn 5 by 4 and subtract from each other.
eqn(2)* 5 will give:
20x+5y+10z = 54.5 .......... *
eqn(3) * 4 will give
20x+8y+4z = 54.8.......**
Subtsrct ** from *
8y-3y+(4z-10z)= 54.8-54.5
5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6
Equate 5 and 6 and solve:
5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5
5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6
subtract:
6z+6z = 19.7+0.3
12z = 20
z = 20/12
z = 1.67
Substitute z = 1.67 into eqn 6
5y-6(1.67) = 0.3
5y - 10 = 0.3
5y = 10.3
y = 10.3/5
y = 2.06
Substitute z = 1.67 and y = 2.06 into equation 1
From 1:
2x+3y+4z = 15.30
2x+3(2.06)+4(1.67) = 15.30
2x+6.18+6.68 = 15.30
2x+12.86 = 15.30
2x = 15.30-12.86
2x = 2.44
x = 2.44/2
x = 1.22
Therefore 1 apple costs $1.22, 1 strawberry costs $2.06 and 1 orange costs $1.67

Isaaq put 2b + 3 dollars in the bank in the first week. The following week he doubled the first week’s savings and put that amount in the bank. The next week he doubled what was in the bank and put that amount in the bank. If he now has $477 in the bank, how much did he put in the bank the first week? Please add an numerical explanation
Answer:
The answer is $159
Step-by-step explanation:
2b + 3 - Day 1
4b + 6 - Day 2
6b + 9 - Day 3
477=6b+9
-9 -9

Use the distance formula to find the distance, to the nearest tenth, from S(5, −4) to W(−3, 7).
Answer:
185
Step-by-step explanation:
distance formula is d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²
so it would be d=[tex]\sqrt{(-3-5)^{2} + (7-(-4))^{2} }[/tex]
where we see [tex](7-(-4))^{2}[/tex] will turn into [tex](7+4)^{2}[/tex]
[tex](-3-5)^{2} =64[/tex]
[tex](7+4)^{2} =121[/tex]
64+121= 185

The product of a number x minus 5 and three less than twice x
Answer:
(x-5)(2x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
key words:
product = multiplication
minus - subraction
x-5
and = first phrase times next phrase
less than = a number minus the number before the 'less than'
twice = 2 times a number
if we put it together we get x-5 times 2x-3. we put parenthesis because we dont want to multiply only 5 and 2x so our answer is (x-5)(2x-3).
i hope this helped :))

Which of the following is true about the function above? - Apex
Answer:
The answer is B, The domain is (-4, infinite) and it's range is (0, infinite)
Step-by-step explanation:
If we graph this equation, we can see that x=-4 is the ascending point on the graph, infinitely continuing upwards, giving us -4, infinite. The range, however is found with infinitely continuing off the graph to the right, making it a positive infinitely for the y value as it is NOT a steady straight line.

The inequality will be x ≥ 2.
What is an inequality?Inequalities are the mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.
Given is an inequality, 4x - 3 ≥ 5,
We need to solve for x,
4x - 3 ≥ 5
Add 3 to both sides,
4x - 3 + 3 ≥ 5 + 3
4x ≥ 8
Divide the inequality by 4,
4x / 4 ≥ 8 / 4
x ≥ 2
Hence the inequality will be x ≥ 2.

On a certain planet, Continent X has an area of 6.23*10^6 square miles and Continent Y has an area of 63,600,000 square miles. How many times larger is Continent Y than Continent X?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Continent X =6.23*10^6
Continent Y= 63,600,000
rounded = 60,000,000
Scientific notation = 6*10^7
Now round continent X= 6.23 or 6
Continent X= 6*10^6
6*10^7/ 6*10^6 = 1*10^(7-6)
= 1*10^1
= 1*10
= 10
So your answer would be 10.
I hope that helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Continent X =6.23*10^6
Continent Y= 63,600,000
rounded = 60,000,000
Scientific notation = 6*10^7
Now round continent X= 6.23 or 6
Continent X= 6*10^6
6*10^7/ 6*10^6 = 1*10^(7-6)
= 1*10^1
= 1*10
= 10

Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith both plan to retire in 5 years. Mr. Jones has invested $250 per
month in a 401k retirement account for 20 years, and Mr. Smith has invested $500 a month
in a 401k retirement account for 10 years. Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith invested in the same
accounts yielding the same interest rate. Which statement about the retirement investments
of Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith is most likely to be true?
Mr.Smith will have more money saved because he invested more money each month.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones will have the same amount in their retirement funds.
Mr. Jones will have more money because he invested for a longer period of time.
cannot determine
Answer:
i don't know, i just want to know if you got it right
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct statement (C) "Mr. Jones will have more money because he invested for a longer period of time" is correct.
What is compound interest?It is defined as the interest on the principal value or deposit and the interest which is gained on the principal value in the previous year.
We can calculate the compound interest using the below formula:
[tex]\rm A = P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where A = Final amount
P = Principal amount
r = annual rate of interest
n = how many times interest is compounded per year
t = How long the money is deposited or borrowed (in years)
It is given that:
Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith both plan to retire in 5 years.
From the formula:
The rate of interest is the same for both cases.
The duration for Mr. Jones is 20 years
The Initial investment amount for Mr. Jones = $250
The duration for Mr. Smith is 10 years
The initial investment amount for Mr. Smith = $500
Mr. Jones will have more money because he invested for a longer period of time.
Thus, the correct statement (C) "Mr. Jones will have more money because he invested for a longer period of time" is correct.

y-4= = -⅓(x+2)
y-3= ⅓(x + 1)
y+ 2 = -3(x - 1)
y - 5 = 3 (x - 1)
Answer:
y - 5 = 3(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the line passing through a point (x', y') and slope 'm' is,
y - y' = m(x - x')
Since slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is represented by,
m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Therefore, slope of the line passing through (0, 2) and (1, 5) is,
m = [tex]\frac{5-2}{1-0}[/tex] = 3
Now equation of the line passing through a point (1, 5) and slope = 3 will be,
y - 5 = 3(x - 1)
