Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let blueberry pies = x and lemon pies = y.

4x + 13y = 230

4x + 2y = 76

Using elimination, we see that 11y = 154. Therefore, y = 14.

4x + 2(14) = 76

4x + 28 = 76

4x = 48

x = 12

x + y = 12 + 14 = 26.

$26 is your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the price of a blueberry pie. Let L be the price of a lemon meringue pie.

We are told that Shreya makes a total of $76 by selling 4 blueberry and 2 lemon meringue pies. This can be made into an equation:

Shreya: 4B + 2L = $76

We also learn that Shanice is doing particularly well:

Shanice: 4B + 13L = $320

We want to determine the prices for each type of pie, B and L. We have two equations and two unknowns. That means we should be able to find the answers by substitution.

Rearrange Shreya's equation to isolate B:

Shreya: 4B + 2L = $76

4B = $76 - 2L

B = ($76-2L)/4

Now use this definition of B in Shanice's equation:

Shanice: 4B + 13L = $320

4( ($76-2L)/4) + 13L = $320

($76-2L) + 13L = $320

11L = 244

L = $22.18

Use L = $22.18 in either equation and solve for B:

4B + 2L = $76

4B + 2*($22.18) = $76

4B = $31.64

B = $7.91

---

Blueberry pies are $7.91 each.

Lemon meringue pies are $22.18 each

=========

CHECK: Do these prices provide the correct sales for each person?

Price($/pie) Shreya Shanice

Blueberry 7.91 4 4

Lemon Mer. 22.18 2 13

Blueberry Sales ($) 31.64 31.64

Lemon Mer. Sales ($) 44.3 288.36

Total Sales $76 $320

YES - These prices account for each person's sales.

Must be put in groups of 14 square units or 16 square units triangle EFG

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Area 14 = PQRS + UVW; Area 16 = ABCD + EFG

Step-by-step explanation:

PQRS: A = lw = 7 × 2 = 14

ABCD: A = lw = 4 × 4 = 16

UVW: A = ½bh = ½ × 7 × 4 = 14

EFG: A = ½bh = ½ × 8 × 4 = 16

Area 14 = PQRS + UVW

Area 16 = ABCD + EFG

Thrush us a landscape architect. For his first public project he is asked a small scale drawing of a garden to be placed in the

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Therefore, on the graph;

The height = 7.5 units

And base = 5.0 units

Attached is an image for further information;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

1 unit on the grid represent 2m of the garden;

Ratio = 1/2 unit/m

For the height;

height h = 15m

On the graph;

h = 15m × 1/2 unit/m

h = 7.5 units

For the base;

Base b = 10m

On the graph;

b = 10m × 1/2 unit/m

b = 5 units

Therefore, on the graph;

The height = 7.5 units

And base = 5.0 units

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius

AnnZ [28]

-9 degrees Celsius

because when the temp is negative it and it keeps going down, then the numbers basically get added and have a negative sign in front of it.

-3 +-2 +-4 = -9

Write each of the following as a function of theta. 1.) sin(pi/4 - theta) 2.) tan(theta+30°)

Paladinen [302]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent theta.

$\sin( \frac{\pi}{4} - x )$

Using the angle addition trig formula,

$\sin(x - y) = \sin(x) \cos(y) - \cos(x) \sin(y)$

$\sin( \frac{\pi}{4} ) \cos(x) - \cos( \frac{\pi}{4} ) \sin(x)$

$( \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}) \cos(x) - (\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} )\sin(x)$

Multiply one side at a time

Replace theta with x , the answer is

$\frac{ \sqrt{2} \cos(x) }{2} - \frac{ \sin(x) \sqrt{2} }{2}$

2. Convert 30 degrees into radian

$\frac{30}{1} \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{6}$

Using tangent formula,

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \tan(x) + \tan(y) }{1 - \tan(x) \tan(y) }$

$\frac{ \tan(x) + \tan( \frac{\pi}{6} ) }{1 - \tan(x) \tan( \frac{\pi}{6} ) }$

Tan if pi/6 is sqr root of 3/3

$\frac{ \tan(x) + ( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3} ) }{1 - \tan(x) (\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3} ) }$

Since my phone about to die if you later simplify that,

you'll get

$\frac{(3 \tan(x) + \sqrt{3} )(3 + \sqrt{3} \tan(x) }{3(3 - \tan {}^{2} (x) }$

Replace theta with X.
