Question

Frank buys p pounds of oranges for $2.29 per

pound and the same number of pounds of apples
for $1.69 per pound.
a. What do the coefficients represent?
ہم
b. What do the terms represent?

Answer 1

First let's translate these words algebraically and form an equation:

Let oranges be x and apples be y,
`2.29x+1.69y`

a. coefficients are the constants multiplied by the variable, they represent the price of both oranges and apples.

b. I am assuming that the terms here represent how much he paid for the pounds of oranges and apples he bought in total.
