Michael spent $18 at a local farmers’ market. The apples he bought cost $2 per pound, and the peppers cost $3 per pound. How many pounds of apples and peppers did he buy? This equation represents the scenario:

2a + 3p = 18

Choose the equations that are equivalent.
Check all that apply.
p = two-thirds a + 6
p = negative two-thirds a + 6
a = negative 1 and one-half p + 9
a = 1 and one-half p + 9
a = StartFraction negative 3 p + 18 Over 2 EndFraction
