The cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "c" be the cost of 1 chocolate cake

Let "v" be the cost of 1 vanilla cake

<em><u>Jenny sold 14 chocolate cakes and 5 vanilla cakes for 119 dollars</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

14 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 5 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 119

14 \times c + 5 \times v=119

14c + 5v = 119 ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Natalie sold 10 chocolate cakes and 10 vanilla cakes for 130 dollars</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

10 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 10 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 130

10 \times c + 10 \times v = 130

10c + 10v = 130 -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

28c + 10v = 238 ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3</u></em>

28c + 10v = 238

10c + 10v = 130

( - ) --------------------------

18c = 108

c = 6

<em><u>Substitute c = 6 in eqn 1</u></em>

14(6) + 5v = 119

84 + 5v = 119

5v = 119 - 84

5v = 35

v = 7

Thus cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7

If i kick a soccer ball 10 feet and i comes back, how did this happen
Harman [31]
It likely hit a barrier like a wall for example and the force of the ball hitting the wall caused it to be pushed away. Another possibility is that the ball was kicked up some sort of slop and when it was at the ten feet it slowed down and then rolled back down. I hope this helps.
