Answer: the cost of one cherry pie is $18 and the cost of one pumpkin pie is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one cherry pie.

Let y represent the cost of one pumpkin pie.

Lea sold 2 cherry pies and 4 pumpkin pies for a total of $116. This means that

2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Kali sold 7 cherry pies and 8 pumpkins pies for a total of $286. This means that

7x + 8y = 286 - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

14x + 28y = 812

14x + 16y = 572

Subtracting, it becomes

12y = 240

y = 240/12 = 20

Substituting y = 20 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 4 × 20 = 116

2x + 80 = 116

2x = 116 - 80 = 36

x = 36/2 = 18

THEIR AGES
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

3x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = 3x - 5

f(x-2)

Replace x in the function with x-2

f (x-2) = 3(x-2) - 5

           =3x-6 -5

           =3x-11
