Shayna and Nicole are selling pies for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy apple pies and blackberry pies. Shayna sold 7 apple pies and 2 blackberry pies for a total of $148. Nicole sold 7 apple pies and 4 blackberry pies for a total of $184-  <u> so the cost of the (D) apple pie: $16, blackberry pie: $18</u>

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = the price of an apple pie and let B = the price of a blackberry pies. Using the information  in the question  we get  two equations:

 

7A + 2B = $148======>(i)

7A + 4B = $184=======>(ii)

 

Making  use of the Elimination Method . We  multiply the bottom equation by -1 and then add the two equations together, we get:

 

7A + 2B = 148

-7A - 4B = -184

 

-2B = -36

B = 36/2=18

 

<u>The cost of a blackberry pies is $18. </u>

To find the cost of an apple pie, we simply substitute B = 18 in one of the equation.So choosing equation (i) we get

 

7A + 2(18) = 148

7A + 36 = 148

7A = 112

A = 16

 

<u>The cost of an apple pie is $16</u>

A linear function has an x-intercept of 12 and a slope of 3/8. How does this
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3/8

b = 12

y = (3/8)x + 12

---

Data in the table:  slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).

 Change in x and y between two points.  I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).

Change in y:  (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8))  =  3/8

Change in x:  (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1

Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8

The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.

Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12).  The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b.  Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b.  I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)

y = (3/8)x + b

Use (-2/3, -3/4)

-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b

-3/4 = (-6/24) + b

b = -(3/4) + (6/24)

b = -(9/12) + (3/12)

b = -(6/12)

b = -(1/2)

The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)

Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Mandarinka [93]

We set up the equation 580/4 = 725/x. Since we know these are proportional, we can cross-multiply and solve to get x = 5.
