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! :)

Dafes stickball team has six players.how many different six player battling lineups can they make ifdave must bat second and eit
aalyn [17]
Let us name the players A,Dave,Zack,Paul,E and F 
For the first position there are two candidades ( Zack / Paul ) 
For the second position there is only one candidate i.e. Dave 
For the third place there will be 4 candidates (out of Zack and Paul - 1 as one of them is already taken for the first position and A, E and F total-4) 
For the fourth place there will be 3 candidates ( out of the four available candidates in the 3rd place, one will be taken up for 3rd place ) 
For the fifth place there will be 2 candidates 
Finally, for the last place there will be only one candidate left. 
On multiplying the no. of available cadidates, we get 2 * 1 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 48 i.e. option (A) 
Please mention minor spelling mistakes 
For the second question: 
Let the no of dotted marbles be 'x' and no of striped marbles be 'y' 
then the equation will become as follows 
(y+6)/x = 3 
and 
(x+6)/y = (2/3) 
On solving the equations, we will get x = 10 and y = 24 
Total balls = 10+24+6 = 40 (option E) 
Answer 3 will be ) For the first edge, he can choose 3 paths 
For the second edge he can choose 2 paths for each path of its first edge's path 
For the third , he is bounded to move on the paths created by the first and the second edges hence 1 path for each path created by the first and the second edge together 
It will be multiplication of all the possibilities of the paths of the three edges differently......... 
i.e. 3 * 2 * 1 = 6

What is 64x12 – 1,000 written as a difference of cubes? (4x)3 – 103 (8x)3 – 1003 (4x4)3 – 103 (8x4)3 – 1003
Ksju [112]
We have to choose the correct answer and to show what is 64 x^12 - 1,000 written as a difference of cubes.
64 = 4^3
x^12 = ( x^4 )^3
1,000 = 10^3
Finally:
64 x^12 - 1,000 = ( 4 x^4 )^3 - 10^3
Answer:
C ) ( 4 x^4 )^3 - 10^3
