An apple contains 165 calories and 3 g of fiber. A banana contains 120 calories and 2 g of fiber. Set up a system of equations that could be solved to determine the number of apples (A) and bananas (B) that should be eaten to obtain 5070 calories and 90 g of fiber
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The answer to your question is: 22 apples and 12 bananasStep-by-step explanation:a = applesb = bananas 165a + 120b = 5070 3a + 2b = 90Solve by elimination -60(3a + 2b = 90) -180 a - 120b = -5400 165a + 120b = 5070 -15 a 0 = -330 a = -330 / -15 a = 22 3(22) + 2b = 90 66 + 2b = 90 2b = 90 -66 2b = 24 b = 24/2 b = 12
