X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
−2(−9x+5)−4x=2(x−5)−4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2(−9x+5)−4x=2(x−5)−4
(−2)(−9x)+(−2)(5)+−4x=(2)(x)+(2)(−5)+−4(Distribute)
18x+−10+−4x=2x+−10+−4
(18x+−4x)+(−10)=(2x)+(−10+−4)(Combine Like Terms)
14x+−10=2x+−14
14x−10=2x−14
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
14x−10−2x=2x−14−2x
12x−10=−14
Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.
12x−10+10=−14+10
12x=−4
Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.
12x
12
=
−4
12
x= -1/3

GH=CD i think im not really super outrageous with math
Answer:
Alright I think it's Artur, Caleb, Joshua, then Trio.
Step-by-step explanation:
