Answer: 18 pies, 22 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pies sold be represented by p.

Let the number of cakes be represented by c.

The information in the question can then be represented in an equation as:

p + c = 40 ........ i

10p + 8c = 356 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 1

10p + 10c = 400 ....... iii

10p + 8c = 356 ....... iv

Subtract iv from iii

2c = 44

c = 44/2

c = 22

22 cakes were sold

Since 40 items were sold, the number of pies sold will be:

= 40 - 22

= 18 pies

Rudik [331]

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 4x+3(5x-13)=18

expand into 4x+15x-39=18

18+39= 57

15x+4x= 19x

57/19= 3 so x=3

substitute 3 into y= 5x - 13

and you get 2 so y=2

What is -x/3 = 9. Solve for x
vlada-n [284]

Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.

Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides

-x/3(3) = 9(3)

-x = 9(3)

-x = 27

Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides

-x/-1 = 27/-1

x = 27/-1

x = -27

-27 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
