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

Scott walks to and from school each day. Each round trip is 3 kilometers long.
natka813 [3]

The equation that shows the relationship between the number of round trips, x and the number of kilometers, y Scott walked is y = 3x

Each round trip = 3 km

x = number of rounds

y = number of km he has walked in all.

1 rounds  = 3 km

Therefore,

x rounds = 3x km

Each round of trip covers 3km. This means for each round of trip a distance of 3km is covered. The total distance or number of kilometers is represented with y.

The equation to show the relationship between x(number of rounds) and y (number of km) can be represented below

  • y = 3x

Find the slope of the line.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we can do rise over run, or y/x.

r/r = 1/1 = 1

But as you can see, the line is going down which means it's decreasing, which means that it has a negative slope

slope = -1

Hope this helped a little!
