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

\large\bf{\underline{Answer:}}

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎\large\bf{ = 3000 \:ft^2}

__________________________________________

\large\bf{\underline{Given:}}

  • A 3 dimensional figure with 5 sides
  • it has 3 rectangles with dimensions 28 ft and 25 ft
  • And 2 triangles with base =30 ft and height = 20 ft

\large\bf{\underline{To\: find:}}

  • Total surface area of figure

\large\bf{\underline{Therefore:}}

\bf{area \:of\: figure}

‎ㅤ{\bf = area \:of \:3\: rectangles + 2 \: triangles}

\large\bf{\underline{Formulas:}}

\boxed{\bf\pink{area\:of\: triangle= \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height}}

\boxed{\bf\pink{area\:of\: rectangle=length\times breadth}}

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎\large\bf{= 3\times (28 \times 25 )+ 2(\frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 20)}

What is word partition
kupik [55]
The word partition means "division into shares". In Math, partition in number theory is a method of writing numbers as a sum of positive integers. Each integer is called a part or a summand. The order of the summand matters, thus making the sum a composition.
Partition function represents the possible number of partitions of a number (natural number <em>n</em>), or the number of distinct and order-independent methods of illustrating n as a sum of natural numbers.
Young diagram can be used to represent integer partitions.
Partition of numbers is taught to children specially the young ones to split large numbers to smaller units. This can be done in four different ways. For instance: 1 + 4, 1 + 1+ 1 + 2, 1 +3 +1 and 3 + 1 + 1.

If 0 &lt; z ≤ 90 and sin(9z − 1) = cos(6z + 1), what is the value of z? z = 3 z = 4 z = 5 z = 6
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

z = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

sin (9z - 1) = cos (6z + 1)

90 - (9z - 1) = 6z + 1

90 - 9z + 1 = 6z + 1

9z + 6z = 90

15z = 90

z = 6

I Hope I've helped you.
