Answer 1

You can make up anything you want

Answer 2

Can you help :(

Answer 3

Make up something about buying groceries

Answer 4

let x be apples and y be oranges

Answer 5

That's a good start

Answer 6

Now make up a character....perhaps Mary

Answer 7

Okay. go on

Answer 8

I already got the names for the people who are going to buy the groceries. http://prntscr.com/rqqmv

Answer 9

Now I just gotta solve the equations, right? For x and y? Should I use elimination?

Answer 10

First time she goes to the store, apples are 3 dollars a bag, oranges are four dollars a bag. She buys some of both and pays 25 dollars for it. The second time she goes to the store, she buys the same amount of bags of each but this time they're on sale so the apples only cost 2 dollars and bag; the oranges 1 dollar a bag, paying only 10 dollars this time. How much of each did she buy both times?

Answer 11

Ya, use whatever method you want

Answer 12

How does this look xD I totally stole your work. o.o http://prntscr.com/rqqvz

Answer 13

Too many names

Answer 14

I think it's funny.

Answer 15

Also, you didn't define what x and y represent

Answer 16

x = 3, that's the apples and oranged he got on the first trip and y = 4, the amount on the second?

Answer 17

You need to mention which variable represents bag of apples and which represents bag of oranges.

Answer 18

Okay, I said x = apples and y = oranges

Answer 19

x = bag of apples*
y = bag of oranges*

Answer 21

Gah, just stick to one name.

Answer 22

And you still didn't properly define x and y. You define it after the word problem, not in it.

Answer 27

You're killing it

Answer 42

Yes, just leave it like that....smh

Answer 43

Heh xD

Answer 44

Wait, you still need to fix it

Answer 45

Nevermind, I got one -_-

Answer 46

This is hilarious, though. Lol

Answer 47

You copied and pasted the one where I left off the part where he paid 10 dollars for the second trip.

Answer 48

This seems much easier http://prntscr.com/rqrtt

Answer 49

You're killin' me though DX

Answer 50

You're forgetting something. You got that off the internet and your other classmates probably copied and pasted the same problem.

Answer 51

At least use the unique one that I came up with

Answer 52

That way you don't risk losing points for copying something from the internet

Answer 53

Furthermore, you need to re-post the original one but include this part:

First time he goes to the store, apples are 3 dollars a bag, oranges are four dollars a bag. He buys some of both and pays 25 dollars for it. The second time he goes to the store, he buys the same amount of bags of each but this time they're on sale so the apples only cost 2 dollars and bag; the oranges 1 dollar a bag, `paying only 10 dollars this time`. How much of each did he buy both times?

Answer 54

;-; ok

Answer 55

Heh. got 91. Out of 20 I got 2 wrong. Is that good for a final?

Answer 56

You got a 91%. That should be good enough for an A
