  • Question 11 (request help)

    Check for Reasonableness Zach solves the system

    \(\begin{cases}
    x + y = -3\\
    x - y = 1
    \end{cases}\)

    and finds the solution (1, -2). Use a graph to explain whether Zach’s solution is reasonable.

  • Question 12 (request help)

    Represent Real-World Problems Angelo bought apples and bananas at the fruit stand. He bought 20 pieces of fruit and spent $11.50. Apples cost $0.50 and bananas cost $0.75 each.
    a. Write a system of equations to model the problem. (Hint: One equation will represent the number of pieces of fruit. A second equation will represent the money spent on the fruit.)

  • Type below:
  • Question 12 (request help)

    b. Solve the system algebraically. Tell how many apples and bananas Angelo bought.

  •    apples
       bananas

  • Question 14 (request help)

    Multistep The graph shows a triangle formed by the x-axis, the line \(3x - 2y = 0\), and the line \(x + 2y = 10\). Follow these steps to find the area of the triangle.

    a. Find the coordinates of point A by solving the system

    \(\begin{cases}
    3x - 2y = 0\\
    x + 2 y = 10
    \end{cases}\)
