on Monday you buy two apples and three oranges for a total of $14 on Tuesday you buy four apples and five oranges for $24 what does an apple cost and what does an orange cost? what are the two equations

Equation=2a+3b=$14
=4a+5b=$24

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 2 to get the value of b
8a+12b=56 -
8a+10b=48
2b=8
b=$4
If the price of an orange is $4 we can now find the price of an apple by
2a+(3*$4)=$14
2a+12=142a=2
a=1
So the cost of an apple is $1 and that of an orange is $4
Hope it helps you

Your answer should be 1/3. i hope i could ! good luck : )

a - base

b - exponent

so,

the base is 8the exponent is 3the exponent tells you to multiply 8 together three timesthe expanded form is 8*8*8
