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.

Days/ cost to rent a truck 1/34 2/50 3/66 4/82 A/ C=16d B/ C= 16d + 18 C/ C= 16d + 16 D/ C=18d + 16

Use the given information as (x, y) points.
You have
(1, 34)
(2, 50)
(3, 66)
(4, 82)
The difference between renting for 1 day and 2 days is 50 - 34 = 16.
The difference between renting for 2 days and 3 days is 66 - 50 = 16
The difference between renting for 3 days and 4 days is 82 - 66 = 16
For each day you rent you pay $16.
Now look at renting for 1 day.
The rental for 1 day is $16, but for 1 day you pay $34.
$34 - $16 = $18
There is an extra $18 in the rental for every day. The $18 is fixed.
That means, to rent a truck, you must pay a fixed amount of $18 plus $16 per day.

total cost = daily cost + fixed cost
total cost =       16d    +      16
c = 16d + 18
