Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an apple pie be represented by a

Let an cherry pie be represented by c

Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:

12c + 3a= 144

Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:

2c + 9a = 126

12c + 3a= 144 ............. i

2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 12

24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii

24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-102a = -1224

a = 1224/102

a = 12

An apple pie costs 12

From equation i

12c + 3a= 144

12c + (3×12) = 144

12c + 36 = 144

12c = 144 - 36

12c = 108

c = 108/12

c = 9

A cherry pie costs 9

Foil: (x+9)(3x-4)

QveST [7]

QUESTION 1

The given binomial is;

$(x+9)(3x-4)$

First terms are multiplied: $x\times 3x=3x^2$

Outside terms are multiplied: $x\times -4=-4x$

Inside terms are multiplied: $9\times 3x=27x$

Last terms are Multiplied: $9\times -4=-36$

This gives us;

$=3x^2-4x+27x-36$

$=3x^2+23x-36$

QUESTION 2

We want to factor

$6r^5s+4r^4s^2-8r^2s$

The HCF is $2r^2s$

We factor to get;

$2r^2s(3r^3+2r^2s-4)$

QUESTION 3;

$x^2+x-2=0$

Split the middle term;

$x^2+2x-x-2=0$

Factor

$x(x+2)-1(x+2)=0$

$(x+2)(x-1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x-1)=0$

$x=-2,x=1$

The solutions are;

$x=-2$ and $x=1$

These are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function

$f(x)=x^2+x-2$

A recent survey of

Serga [27]

Answer:

The total number of students in a survey is 300.

Let the number of junior male(JM) be x and the number of senior males(SM) be y.

Let the number of junior female(JF) be p and the number of senior males(SF) be q.

It is given that there are 160 males, 80 junior females, 130 seniors.

Since number of males are 160. So the number of females are,

$300-160=140$

Since number of junior females is 80.

$JF+SF=140\\80+SF=140\\SF=60$

Since number of seniors are 130.

$SM+SF=130\\SM+60=130\\SM=70$

Since number of males is 160.

$JM+SM=160\\JM+70=160\\JM=90$

Therefore, the table and venn diagram is shown below.
