Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take 3/12^3 as an example. 3/12 becomes 1/4, and your problem becomes 1/4^3. When you solve, your solution would be 0.015625 either way!! Hope this help!!

Answer:

First option: $3x^2-5x=-8$

Second option: $2x^2=6x-5$

Fourth option: $-x^2-10x=34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite each equation in the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ and then use the Discriminant formula for each equation. This is:

$D=b^2-4ac$

1) For $3x^2-5x=-8$ :

$3x^2-5x+8=0$

Then:

$D=(-5)^2-4(3)(8)=-71$

Since $D$ this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

2) For $2x^2=6x-5$ :

$2x^2-6x+5=0$

Then:

$D=(-6)^2-4(2)(5)=-4$

Since $D$ this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

3) For $12x=9x^2+4$ :

$9x^2-12x+4=0$

Then:

$D=(-12)^2-4(9)(4)=0$

Since $D=0$ this equation has one real solution.

4) For $-x^2-10x=34$ :

$-x^2-10x-34=0$

Then:

$D=(-10)^2-4(-1)(-34)=-36$

Since $D$ , this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

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! :)
