x+y=46 and 1.75x+2y=89.50 can be used to determine the number of pounds of blueberries sold and the number of pounds of apples sold, where x represents the pounds of blueberries sold and y represents the pounds of apples sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one pound of blueberries = $1.75

Cost of one pound of apples = $2

Total worth = $89.50

Total sold = 46 pounds.

Let,

x be the pounds of blueberries sold.

y be the pounds of apples sold

According to given statement;

x+y=46     Eqn 1

1.75x+2y=89.50   Eqn 2

x+y=46 and 1.75x+2y=89.50 can be used to determine the number of pounds of blueberries sold and the number of pounds of apples sold, where x represents the pounds of blueberries sold and y represents the pounds of apples sold.
