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.

Answer:

  y = 1/4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a "rise" of -8 for a "run" of 2, so a slope of ...

  m = rise/run = -8/2 = -4

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this slope. Its slope will be ...

  -1/m = -1/(-4) = 1/4

The equation you're looking for will have an x-coefficient of 1/4. The suitable choice is ...

  y = 1/4x + 5 . . . . the third choice

Alex wants to fence in an area for a dog park. He has plotted three sides of the fenced area at the points E (1, 5), F (3, 5), a
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: E, F, G, H denote the three coordinates of the area fenced

To find: coordinates of point H

Solution:

According to distance formula,

length of side joining points (x_1,y_1)\,,\,(x_2,y_2) is equal to \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

So,

EF=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(5-5)^2}=2\,\,units\\FG=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=5\,\,units\\GH=\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-1)^2}\\EH=\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-5)^2}

Perimeter of a figure is the length of its outline.

EF+FG+GH+EH=16\\2+5+\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-1)^2}+\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-5)^2}=16\\\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-1)^2}+\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-5)^2}=16-2-5\\\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-1)^2}+\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-5)^2}=9

Put (x,y)=(1,1)

\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(1-1)^2}+\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(1-5)^2}=9\\\sqrt{25}+\sqrt{16}=9\\5+4=9\\9=9

This is true.

So, the point (1,1) satisfies the equation \sqrt{(x-6)^2+(y-1)^2}+\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-5)^2}=9

So, point H is (1,1).
