Answer:

  • apple $9
  • pumpkin $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'p' stand for the prices of apple and pumpkin pies, respectively. Then the two sales are described by ...

  4a +5p = 86

  8a +2p = 92

Subtract half the second equation from the first to eliminate the 'a' variable.

  (4a +5p) -(1/2)(8a +2p) = (86) -(1/2)(92)

  4p = 40 . . . . . simplify

  p = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Substitute into the first equation:

  4a + 5(10) = 86

  4a = 36 . . . . . subtract 50

  a = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 4

One apple pie costs $9; one pumpkin pie costs $10.

Solve x2 − 8x + 5 = 0 using the completing-the-square method. (2 points)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x = 4 +  \sqrt{11},  \:  \: x = 4 -  \sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  -8x + 5 = 0 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  - 8x +  {4}^{2}  =  - 5 +  {4}^{2}  \\  \\  {(x - 4)}^{2}  =  - 5 + 16 \\  \\  {(x - 4)}^{2}  = 11 \\  \\ x - 4 =   \pm \sqrt{11}  \\  \\ x = 4 \pm \sqrt{11}  \\  \\ x = 4 +  \sqrt{11}, \:  \: x = 4 -  \sqrt{11}
