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

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x + k), use the graph to determine the value of k.
dedylja [7]

g(x) is basically transformed f(x). First, let's focus on f(x) graph. Notice how the graph has slope of 1 and intersect y-axis at (0,0).

Which means that our equation for f(x) is:

\large{f(x) = x}

Now then we focus on g(x). g(x) is f(x+k). That means if f(x) = x then f(x+k) would mean substitute x = x+k in the equation.

\large{f(x + k) = x + k }\\  \large{g(x) = x + k}

Next, we want to find the value of k. In the slope-intercept form or y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Notice the g(x) graph and see that the graph intersects y-axis at (0,4). Therefore k = y-intercept = 4.

\large{g(x) = x + 4}

Answer

  • g(x) = x+4
  • Therefore the value of k is 4.

Solve for x.<br> 9(x - 2) = 18<br> o x=0<br> X = 16/9<br> x = 20/9
iragen [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x - 2) = 18

9x - 18 = 18

9x = 18 + 18

9x = 36

x = 36/9

x = 4

Answer:

C: A line travelling to the right with an open dot on p = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

You use a closed dot when the equation is greater/less than or equal to: \geq \leq

It goes right because if it went left it would be p < -3.
