Answer:

the cost each of one blueberry pie is $14

and one blackberry pie is $18

Step by step explanation:

Given that;

Beth sold 3 blueberry pies and 12 blackberry pies for a total of $258.

Ming sold 4 blueberry pies and 3 blackberry pies for a total of $110.

Let x represent the cost of blueberry pies and y the cost of blackberry pie.

3x + 12y = 258 ........1

4x + 3y = 110 ..........2

To solve the simultaneous equations;

Multiply equation 2 by 4, equation 2 becomes;

16x +12y = 440 .......3

Subtract equation 1 from 3;

16x-3x + 12y-12y = 440-258

13x = 182

x = 182/13 = 14

Substituting x=14 to equation 2

4(14) + 3y = 110

3y = 110 - 4(14)

3y = 54

y = 54/3

y = 18

the cost each of one blueberry pie is $14

and one blackberry pie is $18

Answer: Each blueberry pie costs $14 and each blackberry pie costs $18.

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the price of a blueberry pie and Y is the price of a blackberry pie we have that:

3*X + 12*Y = $258

4*X + 3*Y = $110

We have a system of equations, to solve it first we can isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate X in the first equation.

3*X = $258 - 12*Y

X = $258/3 - (12*Y)/3 = 86  - 4*Y

now we can replace it in the second equation and get:

4*(86 - 4*Y) + 3*Y = 110

344 - 16Y + 3Y = 110

344 - 13Y = 110

13Y = 344 - 110 = 234

Y = 234/13 = 18

So each blackberry pie costs $18.

And we can replace it in the equation for X and get the value of X.

X = 86 - 4*Y = 86 - 4*18 = 14

So the price of a blueberry pie is $14.

Answer:

I'm not 100% sure I'm right but I think x = -1

because it says "f(x)" and then it says"Find f(-1)" so that is why I think x = -1

Q(a+1) - 2q(a) if q(x) = x²+3x+4​
siniylev [52]

q(x) =  {x}^{2} + 3x + 4

_________________________________

Step(1)

To find q(a) we just need to put a instead of x in q(x) function.

Let's do it...

q(a) =  {a}^{2} + 3a + 4

Multiply sides by -2 :

- 2q(a) =  - 2( {a}^{2} + 3a + 4)

- 2q(a) =  - 2 {a}^{2} - 6a - 8

_________________________________

Step (2)

To find q(a+1) we just need to put a+1 instead of x in q(x) function.

Let's do it...

q(a + 1) =  ({a + 1})^{2} + 3(a + 1) + 4 \\

q(a + 1) =  {a}^{2} + 2a + 1 + 3a + 3 + 4 \\

q(a + 1) =  {a}^{2} + 5a + 8

_________________________________

Step (3)

q(a + 1) - 2q(a) =

{a}^{2} + 5a + 8 - 2 {a}^{2} - 6a - 8 =  \\

-  {a}^{2} - a  =  - a(a + 1)

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
