A:
Answer:a  x+2y =5b  x=1  y=2Step-by-step explanation:4x+3y = 10So the cost of 1 banana is x and the cost of 1 peach is ya) we want the cost of 1 banana and 2 peaches1x+2yThat is equal to 5 dollars1x+2y =5x+2y =5bThe matrixes are1   2         x              5          *           = 4   3          y            10Using my calculator, x=1  y=2
