Question

Michael made two trips to the market. On his first trip to the market, he bought x apples on sale for $3 each and y
bananas for $2 each and spent a total of $32. On his second trip to the store, he bought x full price, apples for $5 each
and returned the y bananas he bought on the first trip. He was refunded the money for the bananas and still spent $32.

Answer 1

Answer:

He bought 8 Apples and 4 banana

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+2y=32\\5x-2y=32$

Linear Combination (add equations)

$8x+ 0y=64\\8x=64\\x=8$

So 8 Apples (X)

the put 8 in for X in either equation

$3(8)+2y=32\\24+2y=32\\2y=8\\y=4$

4 Bananas
