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.
344 thousands times 1/10=34,400
Answer:
The answer is c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
24
P: parentheses (12 - 8) = 4
E: exponents (3^2) = 9
M: multiplication (12-8)/2 * 4 = 8
D: division (12-8)/2 = 2
A: addition (7 + 9 + 8) = 24
S: subtraction (blank)
Following the order of operations, our final answer is: 24
Its not a negative number but a positive number
