Directions: Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Joanna went to the farmers market to buy some apples and oranges. She bought 8 oranges and some
apples. The cost per orange was $1.79 and the cost per pound of apples was $1.49. Joanna spent a
total of $23.26 on apples and oranges at the farmers market.
Let p represent the number of pounds of apples Joanna bought.
Create the equation that symbolizes this situation, and then answer the question below.

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.
