Question

The price of 2 pears and 6 apples is $14. The price of 3 pears and 9 apples is $21. Can you determine the unit prices for pears and apples?

really need help 30 points so dont scam me xD

Answer 1

If 2p + 6a = $14

and 3p + 9a = $21

then the following would also be true:

1p + 3a = $7

If p = pear and a = apple, how much would each cost? The unit prices can be determined by looking at the pattern. You can use multiplication to solve the problem.

For example, 1p + 3a*2 = $7

p = $1/each

a = $2/each or $6 total
