Mila and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $6 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1.50 and each banana costs $0.50. She bought a total of 8 apples and bananas altogether. By following the steps below, determine the number of apples, x,x, and the number of bananas, y,y, that Mila bought.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 apples, 6 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

X + y =8 1st equation

1.50x + .50y=6.00 2nd equation

x=8-y isolate x to one side

1.5(8-y) + .5y=6

12+-1.5y+ .5y =6

-1.5y+.5y=6-12

-1y=-6

y=6

solve for y

x+y=8

x+6=8

x=2
