Question

1. the cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. write a system of equations (this question is similar to problem #3 - follow how the two equations were set up in problem #3 the same way, but with different letters for this problem).

$5q + 2z = 1.32$
$1z = 0.75$
$q + z = 1.32$
$q + z = 0.75$
$5q + 2z = 1.32$
$3q + 1z = 0.75$
$5q + 2z = 0$
$3q + 1z = $

Explanation:

Let \( q \) be the cost of one squash and \( z \) be the cost of one zucchini. The first condition says 5 squash and 2 zucchini cost $1.32, so the equation is LXI2. The second condition says 3 squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75, so the equation is \( 3q + z = 0.75 \). We check the options: the third option has \( 5q + 2z = 1.32 \) and \( 3q + 1z = 0.75 \), which matches our setup.

Answer:

Third Option: \( 5q + 2z = 1.32 \)
\( 3q + 1z = 0.75 \)
