Priscilla’s grandmother’s fruit salad recipe calls for one part apple, one part orange, four parts strawberry, two parts cherry, and three parts grape. Priscilla uses the same measuring cup to measure all of the fruit, so one part is equal to one cup of diced fruit. In this exercise, you will compare the quantities in the recipe to understand ratios better. Compare the total quantity of fruit used with the quantity of oranges. Write your answer in a sentence.

  answer:

  write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. multiply each addend by 5. then add the three products to get 2,740.

you can use a^2+ b^2=c^2

a

step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

- x + y = - 2 → (1)

2x - 3y = 4 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 2x + 2y = - 4 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (- 3y + 2y) = (4 - 4), simplifying gives

- y = 0 ⇒ y = 0

substitute y = 0 in either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of x

substituting in (2) gives

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 0 ) → a
