Answer:
a. Required system of equations is:
c+p = 10
5c+4p = 46
b. 6 cakes were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be the number of pies and c be the number of cakes.
Then according to given statement " the store sold 10 baked goods"
And
"A cake costs $5 and a pie costs $4"
Using equation 1,
Putting this value of c in equation 2:
Putting p = 4 in equation 1
Hence,
a. Required system of equations is:
c+p = 10
5c+4p = 46
b. 6 cakes were sold
Answer: k = -1 +/- √769
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
48x - ky = 11
<u>-48x </u> <u> -48x</u>
-ky = -48x + 11
Slope:
*************************************************************************
(k + 2)x + 16y = -19
<u>- (k + 2)x </u> -<u>(k + 2)x </u>
16y = -(k + 2)x - 19
Slope:
**********************************************************************************
and
are perpendicular so they have opposite signs and are reciprocals of each other. When multiplied by its reciprocal, their product equals -1.
*
= -1
= 1
Cross multiply, then solve for the variable.
(k + 2)(k) = 16(48)
k² + 2k - 768 = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve:
k = -1 +/- √769
