We went to the market to buy some fruit. We decided to buy some apples, strawberries, and oranges. If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30. If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90. If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of apples, y represent the cost of strawberries and z represent the cost of oranges.

The money used to buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges is represented as:

2x + 3y + 4z = 15.3         (1)

The money used to buy 4 apples, 1 boxes of strawberry, and 2 oranges is represented as:

4x + y + 2z = 10.9       (2)

The money used to buy 5 apples, 2 boxes of strawberry, and 1 oranges is represented as:

5x + 2y + z = 13.7        (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = $1.5, y = $2.5 and y = $1.2

The cost of orange is $1.5, cost of strawberry = $2.5 and cost of orange = $1.2

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
