Answer:

One apple pie is $4 and one blackberry pie is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the cost of one apple pie and b is the cost of one blackberry pie:

10a + 2b = 80

10a + 3b = 100

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -1, then adding the equations together:

-10a - 2b = -80

10a + 3b = 100

Add these together:

b = 20

So, one blackberry pie is $20. Plug in 20 as b into one of the equations, and solve for a:

10a + 2b = 80

10a + 2(20) = 80

10a + 40 = 80

10a = 40

a = 4

So, one apple pie is $4.

One apple pie is $4 and one blackberry pie is $20

For which of the following compound inequalities is there no solution?

Bess [88]

Answer:

(a) $6m \le - 36$ and $m + 24 > 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Which of a to d has no solution

(a) $6m \le - 36$ and $m + 24 > 20$

We have: $m + 24 > 20$

Sole for m

$m >20 - 24$

$m >-4$

$6m \le - 36$

Divide by 6

$m \le -6$

So, we have:

$m \le -6$ and $m >-4$

$m \le -6$ implies that: m = -6,-7,-8,-9.....

$m >-4$ implies that m = -3,-2,-1,0.....

Hence, there is no solution

Hans wanted to find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Which statement correctly identifies his error?

KonstantinChe [14]

Choice 1. He did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The hypotenuse measures c cm while the other sides are 40 cm and 9 cm each.

Step 2:

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

$9^{2} +40^{2} = c^{2}.$

$81 + 1600 = c^{2} .$

$1681 = c^{2} .$

$\sqrt{1681} = c.$

This is the correct solution to the given problem. Hans did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2. Which is the first option.

Answer:

It is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to select a statement that is true about the value of StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue i.e. |- 5|

Definition of the absolute value function is given by, |x| = x for, x ≥ 0 and |x| = - x for x < 0.

Now, an absolute value function gives the positive value of any value in the function i.e. |- 5| = 5.

Therefore, it is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line. (Answer)
