Two friends shop for fresh fruit Elena buy a watermelon for 8.55 and 3 pounds of cherries. Taniy buys a pineapple for 2.45 and 2 pounds cherries. Use the variable p to represent the price, in dollars, per pound of cherries. Write and simplify an expression to how much more Elena spent.

$6.10 + p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

p = price in $ per pound of cherries

ELENA:

Amount spent = 8.55 + 3p

TANIY:

Amount spent = 2.45 + 2p

How much more Elena spent :

Amount spent by Elena - Amount spent by Taniy

(8.55 + 3p) - (2.45 + 2p)

8.55 + 3p - 2.45 - 2p

8.55 - 2.45 + 3p - 2p

6.10 + p

$6.10 + p

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
