Mr. Smith bought some apples and bananas. Apples are $3 a pound and bananas are $5 a pound. Mr. Smith spend $200 on 52 pounds of apples and bananas. Solve the following system of equations and to determine how many pounds of apples Mr. Smith purchased. Type the number only in the answer space. a + b = 52 3a + 5b =$200 *

i would say b) is your answer

sorry if im wrong

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
