In the system of equations shown, x represents the number of pounds of strawberries, and y represents the number of pounds of grapes in a fruit mix. x space plus space y space equals space 72.50 x space plus space 1.90 y space equals space 15.82 what is the difference between the number of pounds of strawberries and the number of pounds of grapes in the mix

The difference between the number of pounds of strawberries and the number of pounds of grapes in the mix is 33.42 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that the right question is:

In the system of equations shown, x represents the number of pounds of strawberries, and y represents the number of pounds of grapes in a fruit mix. x   y = 15.82 and x - 1.90y = 72.5. what is the difference between the number of pounds of strawberries and the number of pounds of grapes in the mix

Given that:

x represents the number of pounds of strawberries, and y represents the number of pounds of grapes in a fruit mix.

The equation relating x and y is given by the equation:

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, we get:

Putting y = 19.54 in equation 1 to get:

Therefore, the difference between the number of pounds of strawberries and the number of pounds of grapes in the mix is given by:

The difference between the number of pounds of strawberries and the number of pounds of grapes in the mix is 33.42 pounds.
