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:

s(x)=\frac{0.2}{x+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 liters, there is 4% salt.

Lets find liters of salt.

First, converting 4% to decimal (dividing by 100):

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

0.04 * 5 = 0.2

So, there is 0.2 liters of salt.

Now, x liters of water is added to total, so total is now:

5 + x

The concentration of salt will be amount of salt divided by amount of salt water solution.

Amount of salt = 0.2 (as seen above)

Amount of new salt water solution = x + 5

So,

Concentration of salt in new solution is  \frac{0.2}{x+5}

2nd choice is right.
