Answer:
698 apples
Step-by-step explanation: 78*9 equals 702. She sold 4 less than that so you need to subtract 4. 702-4=698 apples Berta sold.

So the solution to this system is
.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0)
Distance between two vertices = 2a
Distance between (-8,0) and (8,0) = 16
2a= 16
so a= 8
Vertex is (h+a,k)
we know a=8, so vertex is (h+8,k)
Now compare (h+8,k) with vertex (8,0) and find out h and k
h+8 =8, h=0
k =0
a minor axis of length 10.
Length of minor axis = 2b
2b = 10
so b = 5
General formula for the equation of horizontal ellipse is

a= 8 , b=5 , h=0,k=0. equation becomes


6 + y × 9 (the x is a times sign btw)
Answer: y = -4/3x + 0. Yes, that point lies on the line
Step-by-step explanation:
Use this equation, Δy/Δx and this one, y = mx + b. Or, change in the y value divided by the change in the x value.
-4 + 8 = 4
3 - 6 = -3
The slope, m, is -4/3. Now solve for b by plugging in the slope.
. B is equal to 0
To see if that point lies on the function, plug it in the equation and see if it is true. Multiply -4 x -3 to get 12, divide by 3 to get 4, then add 0. The equation says that 4 = 4, which is infact true
