This is a system of equations problem.
Blueberry = X, blackberry = Y
Joe:
5x + 10y = 135
James:
x + 9y = 104
Let’s isolate x from James’ equation.
x = 104 - 9y
Now substitute that into the first equation.
5(104 - 9y) + 10y = 135
520 - 45y + 10y = 135
-35y = -385
y = -385/-35. The negatives cancel out, leaving us with $11 for blackberries.
Now we can substitute that value into James’s equation.
x + 9(11) = 104
x = 104 - 99
x = $5
Final answer: Blueberry pies cost $5, blackberry pies cost $11.
2/5y + 3/5 did that work?
The answer is 1.5x10⁹ That is the scientific notation
Step-by-step explanation:
d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2
P1(0, 0, 0) P2(-6, 8, 3)
Substitute the values in the above equation and you will get
d = √(-6 - 0)^2 + (8 - 0)^2 + (3 - 0)^2
= √(36 + 64 + 9)
= √109
= 10.44
