Answer:
x
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First choose a variable to represent the number,
Let's call it
x
We need to divide that number by
5
x
÷
5
or
x
5
is how you write it as an expression.
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:
117 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
two dozen cookies calls for 234cups of sugar
2 dozen cookies = 234 cups of sugar
How much sugar is needed to make one dozen cookies?
Let x = cups of sugar needed
1 dozen cookies = x cups of sugar
2 dozen cookies : 234 cups of sugar = 1 dozen cookies : x cups of sugar
2 : 234 = 1 : x
2 / 234 = 1 / x
Cross product
2*x = 234 * 1
2x = 234
x = 234 / 2
= 117 cups
