An employee at an organic food store is assembling gift baskets for a display. using wicker baskets, the employee assembled 2 small baskets and 4 large baskets, using a total of 60 pieces of fruit. using wire baskets, the employee assembled 2 small baskets and 10 large baskets, using a total of 132 pieces of fruit. assuming that each small basket includes the same amount of fruit, as does every large basket, how many pieces are in each?
the small baskets each and the large ones each .

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
