This is a system of equations problem.
Blueberry = X, blackberry = Y
Joe:
5x + 10y = 135
James:
x + 9y = 104
Let’s isolate x from James’ equation.
x = 104 - 9y
Now substitute that into the first equation.
5(104 - 9y) + 10y = 135
520 - 45y + 10y = 135
-35y = -385
y = -385/-35. The negatives cancel out, leaving us with $11 for blackberries.
Now we can substitute that value into James’s equation.
x + 9(11) = 104
x = 104 - 99
x = $5
Final answer: Blueberry pies cost $5, blackberry pies cost $11.
Answer:
(-1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 5y = -16 [Equation 1]
-x + 3y = 10 [Equation 2]
<u>Adding both equations</u>
- x - x - 5y + 3y = -16 + 10
- -2y = -6
- y = 3
- x - 5(3) = -16
- x - 15 = -16
- x = -1
<u>Solution</u> : (-1, 3)
