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! :)
6 boys, ratio is boy:girl 2:3
its the first one because for example [-12] and 4
the absolute value of -12 is 12 so its greater
Im pretty sure you put the wrong picture. The slope isn't negative and there is no point O,A, or B.
Answer:
The total allowance is $18.5, and the amount spent daily is $3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
let T and x represent the total allowance and the amount spent daily respectively.
It was started that the amount remaining after 2 days is $12.10 , which implies the person has spend an equal amount for 2 days
T - 2x =12.10 (equation 1)
It was started that the amount remaining after 5 days is $2.50 , which also implies the person has spend an equal amount for 5 days
T - 5x =2.5 (equation 2)
subtract equation 2 from 1
T - 2x -( T - 5x ) = 12.10 -2.5
T - 2x -T + 5x = 9.6
3x =9.6
Divide both side by 3
x = 9.6/3 =3.2
from equation 1
T - 2x =12.10
T = 12.10 + 2x = 12.10 + 2*3.2
= 12.10 + 6.4 = 18.5
