Answer:

7 cakes and 8 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write two equations: one for the total number and the other for the total sales.

Let c be the number of cakes.

Let p be the number of pies.

So c + p =15, the total sold.

And 5c + 7p = 91 for the total $ sales.

Solve by substitute one equation into another.

c + p = 15 becomes c = 15 - p. Substitute it into 5c + 7p = 91.

5(15-p) + 7p = 91

75 - 5p + 7p = 91

75 + 2p = 91

2p = 16

p=8

To find c, substitute p=8 into c = 15 - p.

c = 15 - 8

c = 7

What is m to the power of 2 minus 11m minus 60 in product/sum method
Nana76 [90]

m^2 -11m -60 = 0

m^2 -11m =60

(m^2 -11m + 121/4) = 361/4

(m - 11/2)^2 = 361/4

m - 11/2 = + or - 19/2

m = 11/2 + 19/2, 11/2 - 19/2

m = 15, -4

---------------------------------------------------

m^2 -11m -60

(11 +- Square root (121 +240))/2

11/2 +- 19/2

m= 15, -4

----------------------------------------------------

m^2 -11m -60

(m - 15) (m + 4)

m = 15, -4

Solve for x. PLZ WAIT FOR THE PHTO TO UPLOAD
stepan [7]
6x² - 5x + -21 = 0

Because this whole equation equals zero, we must simply factorize the first half of the equation, or the left side.

(3x - 7)(2x + 3) = 0

I was never really taught a specific way to factorize, so I usually just guess and check when factorizing. It usually takes a long time, it always gives you the tight answer.

Then, take each equation and make it equal zero.

3x - 7 = 0 AND 2x + 3 = 0

3x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides.

3x = 7

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 7/3

Now, we do our second equation.

2x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2x = -3

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -3/2

So, x = 7/3 AND x = -3/2

So, your answer is C) x = 7/3, x = -3/2

~Hope I helped!~

Just plug in the x-values into the given equation to find. For 9-19-19 whatever the number is correlated to how much the graph is being moved down or up and the x is your slope.
