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.

Using the graph below, find r(-3) please
ruslelena [56]

Considering the given graph, it is found that the numeric value of the function r(x) at x = -3 is of 2.

<h3>How to find the numeric value of a function given it's graph?</h3>

The numeric value of a function is the value of y for the given value of x, hence, we have to look at the value of x on the horizontal axis, and verify the equivalent value of y on the vertical axis.

In this problem, when the horizontal axis is of x = -3, the vertical axis is of y = 2, hence the numeric value of the function r(x) at x = -3 is of 2.

Factorise: a squared +8a -20
Vaselesa [24]
Factor out the 4 in both equations
8a^2-20^2=(2^2 times a^2 times 2)-(2^2 times 5)
therefor it is also equal to
(2a)^2 times 2-(2^2 times 5)
we can force it into a difference of 2 perfect squares which is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
(2a√2)^2-(2√5)^2=((2a√2)-(2√5))((2a√2)+(2√5))
