Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 lemon to 2 waters will be proportional to what he Brandon needs so:
1 lemon / 2 water = x lemon / 12 water
Multiply by 12
And you get (1/2)*12 which is 6=x lemons
He needs 6 cups of lemons
Answer:
He has food for 9 days.
Hence, yes he has enough dog food to last one week.

Answer:
C.) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent as
w=wally
a=ashan
so wally has 2 more marbles than ashan
w=2+a
together they have 88
w+a=88
since w=2+a, subsitute (2+a) for w in the w+a=88 equation
2+a+a=88
add like terms
2+2a=88
subtract 2 from both sides
2a=86
divide by 2
a=43
ashan has 43 marbles
