A= Apple Pies
L= Lemon Pies

3A + 1L = 21
2A + 3 L = 28

Try to get one variable to the negative version of the other. Like this

(-3)3A + (-3)L = (-3)21
2A + 3L = 28

So now, it is:

-9A - 3L = -63
2A + 3L = 28

Combine Terms.

-7A = -35

A = 5


Therefore, One Apple Pie costs $5, and one Lemon Pie costs $6

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = (-1/3)x -1 and passes through the point (1, 5)?
Anit [1.1K]

bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so


\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{slope}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{-\cfrac{1}{3}}x-1} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill


\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{1}\implies 3}}


so we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3 and runs through (1,5)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=3(x-1) \\\\\\ y-5=3x-3\implies y=3x+2

Solve for a.<br> 5 + 14a = 9a - 5
stira [4]

Since you are solving for a, you want to have a on one side of the equation and the other terms on another side of the equation. It would be easiest to have all the terms with a on the left side of the equation, so that is what we will do.

Subtract 9a from both sides to get a on the left side of the equation.

5 + 5a = -5

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with a.

5a = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for a.

a = -2

mina [271]

Answer:

Sketch the graph of y=7^x

Reflect the graph across the y-axis to show the function y=7^-x

Stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 3 to show the function y=3*7^-x            

Shift the graph up 2 units to show the function y=3*7^-x+2

2/3 x 1 5/8 = kinda struggling with this
Art [367]
You should first turn 1 5/8 into an improper fraction. 1 5/8= 13/8. For fractions, you just multiply regularly.
Let’s do the numerators first (the top number):
2 • 13 = 26
Now the denominators:
3•8= 24
The fraction would be 26/24, but this can be simplified smaller. Let’s divide the top and bottom by two (trick when simplifying is to divide by smaller numbers if you can like 2,3,4).
We now have 13/12, and since 13 is prime, that is the farthest we can simplify to. Let’s make it a mixed number, 1 1/12 is the answer.
