Khan academy question

(2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

There you go.........

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing equations are;

a + 2b + 3c = 12

3a + 2b + 5c = 22

2a + 4b + 4c = 18

a = 2

b = 0.5

c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

a represent the price per pound of apples

b represent the price per pound of bananas

c represent the price per pound of oranges

The equations system is;

a + 2b + 3c = 12 - - - (eq 1)

3a + 2b + 5c = 22 - - - (eq 2)

2a + 4b + 4c = 18 - - - (eq 3)

Divide through equation 3 by 2 to get

a + 2b + 2c = 9 - - - (eq 4)

Subtract eq 4 from eq 1 to get;

3c - 2c = 12 - 9

c = 3

Put 3 for c in eq(2) and eq 4;

3a + 2b + 5c = 22

3a + 2b + 5(3) = 22

3a + 2b + 15 = 22

3a + 2b = 7 - - - (5)

a + 2b + 2(3) = 9

a + 2b + 6 = 9

a + 2b = 3 - - - (eq 6)

Subtract eq 6 from eq 5 to get;

2a = 7 - 3

2a = 4

a = 2

Put 2 for a in eq 6;

2 + 2b = 3

2b = 3 - 2

2b = 1

b = 1/2

b = 0.5
