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! :)
Answer:
Maggie spent =30
Karen spent = 10
Jasmine spent =20
Step-by-step explanation:
In this we use algebra to solve.we give the sisters unknowns, to help us solve the equation.
we dont know how much jasmine used so we give her the unknown x.you can use any letter but ill us x.
karen used half as much as karen so we give her 1/2x because it was half of jasmine.maggie used 3 times that of karen so w give her 3(1/2x).
maggie =3(1/2x)
Karen =1/2x
jasmine =x
3(1/2x) + 1/2x + x = 60
3/2x + 1/2x + x = 60
2x + x = 60
3x=60
x=20
where we have x =we replace with 20
e.g karen 1/2x => 1/2 x 20 =10
if you need any clarifications please do tell me in the comment section.i would like to help more if you need help.thx
Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest anwer thx

Answer:
C. x = -12 and x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-x²-10x+24=0 Original equation
x²+10x-24=0 Divide everything by -1
(x+12)(x-2)=0 Factor it out
x=-12,2 Solve so that the inside of the parentheses equals 0
