Create a system of linear equations that can be used in the real world

Answer 1

Let's consider a real-world scenario of buying fruits at a market.

Let's say you are buying apples and oranges at a market. The price of each apple is $0.75 and the price of each orange is $0.50.

Let's denote the number of apples purchased as 'x' and the number of oranges purchased as 'y'.

So, the total cost of purchasing these fruits can be calculated as:

Total cost = (price of apple * number of apples) + (price of orange * number of oranges)
Total cost = 0.75x + 0.50y

Let's say you spent a total of $10 on purchasing these fruits.

So, the equation can be represented as:
0.75x + 0.50y = 10

This is the system of linear equations that can be used in the real world scenario of buying fruits at a market.

Answer 2

can you make it a little shorter please

Answer 3

Sure!

Let x = number of apples purchased
Let y = number of oranges purchased

Total cost = 0.75x + 0.50y
Total cost = $10

0.75x + 0.50y = 10

This is the system of linear equations that can be used in the real-world scenario of buying fruits at a market.
