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.

White - 20 marbles
DochEvi [55]

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of not being purple is the probability of the three other colors. Suppose the number of purple marbles is x. Then we have 20+30+40+x = 90 + x marbles. Then the probability of not being purple is 90/(90+x). If this fraction can have a lowest term for some value of x, then the numerator of this lowest term must be a factor of 90.

Checking through the options, only option D has a non-factor of 90 as its numerator.

In ∆MNP, m∠N = 90º, NH – altitude, m∠P = 21º, PM = 4 cm. Find MH.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

0.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle MNP, MP = 4 cm, m∠N = 90°, m∠P = 21°

By the sine definition,

\sin \angle P=\dfrac{\text{Opposite leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MN}{MP}\\ \\MN=MP\sin \angle P\\ \\MN=4\sin 21^{\circ}\approx 1.43\ cm

Now, consider right triangle HMN (it is right because NH is an altitude). By the cosine definition,

\cos \angle M=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MH}{MN}\\ \\MH=MN\cos \angle M

In the right triangle, two acute angles are always complementary, so

m\angle M=90^{\circ}-m\angle P=90^{\circ}-21^{\circ}=69^{\circ}

Thus,

MH=1.43\cos 69^{\circ}\approx 0.51\ cm
