This is a system of equations problem.
Blueberry = X, blackberry = Y
Joe:
5x + 10y = 135
James:
x + 9y = 104
Let’s isolate x from James’ equation.
x = 104 - 9y
Now substitute that into the first equation.
5(104 - 9y) + 10y = 135
520 - 45y + 10y = 135
-35y = -385
y = -385/-35. The negatives cancel out, leaving us with $11 for blackberries.
Now we can substitute that value into James’s equation.
x + 9(11) = 104
x = 104 - 99
x = $5
Final answer: Blueberry pies cost $5, blackberry pies cost $11.
Answer:
20-gon
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with the formula to find what the sum of angles will be if we know the number of sides.
S=(n-2)*180 where S is the sum of angles and n is the number of sides.
Normally you'd plug in n to find S, but you can do the opposite too.
3240=(n-2)*180
