X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Devon's sister is incorrect.
Note 6 drinks thats cost $2.99
2.99 divided by 6 is $0.50
Thus each drink is approx. $0.50
She would find it if she divided total number of drinks by the total price
There is only one way, a rectangle that is one block by 17 blocks. This is because the only factors of 17 are 1 and 17.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, create an equation or formula
- because they are congurent, IN = AT, so:
2x+10 = 26 (minus 10 from both sides)
2x = 16 (divide both sides by 2)
x = 8
Sub into the formula:
2 x 8 + 10 = 26
26 = 26
