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

Find the value of x that makes m || n
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x=133

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m║n

This means that 147 and x+14 are <em>alternate exterior angles</em>. This also means that they are equivalent. We can use this information to set up an equation:

x+14=147

Subtract 14 from both sides to isolate x

x=133

Hey uh can anyone help me with this? This is a test and I dont need an explanation since its the last day of the marking period,
Archy [21]

Answer:

Look at explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Dilation of scale factor of 5, because it would become more wide and open by a factor of 5. Reflection over y-axis, because it makes the shape double the size. Dilation of scale factor of 1/2, because it makes the shape half it's size.</u></em> The rotating 90 degrees would only change the shapes position, not the size. The translation would only move the shape to a different area, and not change the size.

Jill invested $20,000 in an account that earned 5.5% annual interest, compounded annually. What is the value of this account aft
noname [10]

The value of this account in 10 years is given by the formula:

FV = P*(1+r)^t

where FV is the future value in the account after 10 years(to be calculated)

P is the principal invested at the beginning

r is the interest rate and

t is the time horizon in years

Given, Invested Amount (P) = 20,000

Interest rate (r) = 5.5% = 0.055

Time horizon (t) = 10 years = 10

Substituting the formula, FV = 20,000*(1+0.055)^10 = 20,000*1.055^10 = 20,000*1.708144458 =  34,162.89

The value of this account after 10 years =$34,162.89 (Rounded to the nearest cent)
