The grocery store sells kumquats for $5.00 a pound and asian pears for $3.25 a pound. write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and asian pears p that a customer could buy with $18. 5 + 3.25 = k 5k + 3.25p = 18 5p + 3.25k = 18 5k = 3.25p + 18

Price of kumquats per pound = $5

Price of Asian pears per pound = $3.25

Let the weight of kumquats be represented by = k

Let the weight of Asian pears be represented by = p

As asked, how much kumquats and pears can be bought in $18

The equation will be

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
