Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations need to match the problem statements. If we let C and S represent the costs of Cherry and Sweet potato pies, respectively, then the revenue from each sale can be expressed as an equation.
1 cherry and 7 sweet potato for $114 ⇒ C +7S = 114
14 sweet potato and 11 cherry for $309 ⇒ 11C +14S = 309
Note that we have used C and S in the second equation in the same order as they appeared in the first equation, even though the problem statement has that order reversed. This facilitates solving the equations using elimination or Cramer's rule.
These equations match Option 4.

The cost of a cherry pie can be found by eliminating S from the equations. We can do that by subtracting twice the first equation from the second:
(11C +14S) -2(C +7S) = (309) -2(114)
9C = 81 . . . . . simplify
C = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 9
The cost of each cherry pie is $9.

Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
0, 3, 8, 15, 24, <u>35,</u> <u>48,</u> <u>63,</u> <u>80</u> which is the nth term
first step you have to find how many steps the sequence was going with.
examples= from 0 to 3 the steps were 3
=from 3 to 8 the steps were 5
= from 8 to 15 the steps were 7
you will recognize that the steps the sequence is going with is odd numbers.
so you will use the odd numbers until you find what you need. which leads you to 80 which is the nth number in the sequence.
The first one would be $160 and the second one would be $525
