Okay, here's my attempt at this problem. I'm first going to set a system of equations:
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
Where:
w = number of blueberries
x = number of raspberries
y = number of grapes and
z = number of cherries
I went ahead and solved the first three equations for z (cherries), so I can plug them in and solve for z:
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
Now I know the stakes, and I'm willing to show what I gots. I will see you all at state for the first and final time, so let's end the year with a bang! :)
