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! :)

Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
That means she type 450/6 minutes. Take 450 and divide it by 6.
450/6 = 75
3.8 / 1.9 = x / 7.6....3,8 miles to 1.9 miles = x miles to 7.6 miles
cross multiply
(1.9)(x) = (3.8)(7.6)
1.9x = 28.88
x = 28.88 / 1.9
x = 15.2 <== Cameron ran 15.2 miles
