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:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula and equate to 4
d = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, a)
d = 
= 
= 
= a + 1 then
a + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
a = 3
Answer:
(1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
x+y = 4 ... 1
y = 2x+1 ....2
Substitute equation 2 into 1
x + (2x+1) = 4
3x + 1 = 4
3x = 4-1
x = 3/3
x = 1
Since y = 2x + 1
y = 2(1) + 1
y = 3
Hence the solution to the equation is (1,3). This means that the coordinate point on the graph where both lines intersect will be at (1, 3)
Answer: 280 miles I think
Step-by-step explanation:
At first, he drives 110. Then hes at the 180 mile mark. And at the end he is at 280. 110 + 70 + 100. I’m very sorry if I’m wrong.
Answer:
$2000
Step-by-step explanation:
For each pound, the charge is $40. There are 50 such charges. The point of multiplication is to simplify the process of repeated addition.
... 50 × $40 = $2000
