Answer:

Pecan cheesecake = $11

Strawberry cheesecake= $19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will need to set up a system of equations:

Let's call "Pecan cheesecakes" 'x', and

"Strawberry cheesecakes" 'y'.

We can set up the equations once we have our variables:

276= 13x + 7y

295 = 13x +8y

We will need to subtract these equations from each other to get rid of the 'x' variable. This gives us:

295 = 13x+ 8y

        -

276 = 13x+ 7y

19 = y

Therefore, Strawberry cheesecakes cost $19. Plug this into an equation to get the value of 'x':

276= 13x + 7(19)

276 = 13x + 133

143 = 13x

x= $11.

Therefore, Pecan cheesecakes cost $11.

A westbound train travels 16 miles per hour slower than the eastbound train. If two trains are 800 miles apart after 5 hours wha
lozanna [386]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate can be calculated as follows

x + x -16

2x-16

(2x-16)×5

10x - 80= 800

10x = 300-80

10x, = 220

x = 220/10

= 22

22-16

= 6 mph

Hence the rate of the west bound tsin is 6mph

Help please I don’t get this
Bess [88]

Answer:

y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is y = mx + b

m = slope

slope = change in y/change in x = (-1 - 3) / (0 - -2) = -4/2 = -2

So equation is now y = -2x + b

To find b, substitute any value from the table into the equation. Let's use (-2,3)

y = -2x + b

3 = -2(-2) + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

So equation is y = -2x - 1

How do I find point-slope form???
Nana76 [90]
I believe the answer is: By using the point slope formula, which states that a given point (x1, y1) and a slope m, the equation of the line can be written as y - y1 = m(x - x1)
