Ashley paid $11.20 for 5 pears and 6 peaches. the cost of 3 pears is as much as 2 peaches. what is the cost of a pear?

Let X= Cost of pears Let Y= Cost of peaches.

Solve question using a system of equations.

5X + 6Y = 11.20

3X = 2Y

Simplify the second equation to solve for Y.

3X = 2Y

Y = 1.5X

Substitute Y into the first equation.

5X + 6(1.5X) = 11.20

Simplify.

14X = 11.20

Solve for X:

X = 0.8

Substitute the value into one of the equations.

3X = 2Y

3(0.8) = 2Y

2.4 = 2Y

Y = 1.2

Each pear is $0.80 and each peach is $1.20.

Hope this helps!

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
