Answer:

One blueberry pie = $7

One pumpkin pie = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two variables in this problem - the cost of blueberry pie and the cost of pumpkin pie, we can set up a system of equations to solve.  Since Brandy sold 6 blueberry pies and 4 pumpkin pies for $106, our first equation is:   6b + 4p = 106.

Molly sold 6 blueberry and 3 pumpkin for $90, so the second equation is: 6b + 3p = $90.

We can use elimination to add the two equations together and eliminate one variable while we solve for the other:

6b + 4p = 106

6b + 3p = 90

In order to eliminate a variable, you can multiply the first equation by -1:

-1(6b + 4p = 106) = -6b - 4p = -106

Add<u> 6b + 3p = 90</u>

-p = -16, so p = 16

Now, solve for b:  6b + 3(16) = 106 or 6b + 48 = 90

Subtract 48 from both sides:  6b + 48 - 48 = 90-48

Divide by 6:  6b/6 = 42/6

Solve for b: b = 7

Now we'll continue to use the +/- 30 degree coverage for the other two cameras. The second camera is aimed at 45 degrees, so it's range of coverage is 15 degrees to 75 degrees (45 +/- 30). Notice that the range from 15 degrees to 30 degrees is covered by 2 cameras. Now the 3rd camera is pointed at -45 degrees, so its coverage is from -15 degrees to -75 degrees. It also has an overlap with the 1st camera from -15 to -30 degrees. The total coverage of all three cameras ranges from -75 degrees to 75 degrees. That means that an arc of 150 degrees in total is covered by all three cameras.</span>

Help help please please

✽ Hello there! ✽

4x+9<21  

Move all the constants (numbers) to the right, using the opposite                         operation:

4x<21-9

4x<12

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:

x<3

<h2>Therefore, x<3 ✔︎</h2>

Hope this helps!

Someone plz answer i rlly need help Solve for a.<br><br> a+(−1.6)=−3.7
Norma-Jean [14]
Hi there!

All you need to do to solve for a is add 1.6 to both sides of the equation.

It will look like this:
a - 1.6 + 1.6 = -3.7 + 1.6

After this you will see that a = -2.1.

Hope this helps!
When in doubt just replace a with -2.1 and see if you still get -3.7. :)
