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! :)
X equal 5/3 set it equal to zero and slove
Answer:
x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph touches the x-axis at x = 1, its factor would be (x - 1)
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
125%*x=45
125%x=45
x=36
Answer:
1.97 years
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal
r = R/100
r = 8/100
r = 0.08 per year,
Then, solve the equation for t
t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]
t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.08/2)] )
t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.04)] )
t = 1.965 years
:D
