The perimeter would be (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 4x).

In order to find this, first double the length and width as you would to find any perimeter.

7/(x - 4) * 2 = 14/(x - 4)

5/x * 2 = 10/x

Now to add those together, we need to give them common denominators. In order to do that with the first one, we need to multiply by x/x

14/(x - 14) * x/x = 14x/(x^2 - 14x)

Then we can do the same with the second part by multiplying by (x - 4)/(x - 4)

10/x * (x - 4)/(x - 4) = (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)

Now we can add the two together

14x/(x^2 - 14x) + (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x) = (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)

Nicole sold 1 cherry pie and 9 pumpkin pies for $60. Lisa sold 11 cheery pies and 4 pumpkin pies for $90. what's the cost each o
zubka84 [21]
X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie

NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60

LISA
11x + 4y= $90


STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11

-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms

(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)

-11x - 99y= -660


STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)

-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"

-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95

y= $6 per pumpkin pie


STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x

x + 9y= $60

x + 9(6)= 60

x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides

x= $6 per cherry pie


CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90


ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.

Hope this helps! :)
