The answer is: [B]: " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " .

Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Note the equation for a line; in 'slope-intercept form': "y = mx + b" ;
in which "y" is isolated alone, as a single variable, on the left-hand side of the equation;
"m" = the slope of the line; and is the co-efficient of "x" ;
b = the "y-intercept"; (or the "y-coordinate of the point of the "y-intercept").
______________________________________________________
So, given the information in this very question/problem:
______________________________________________________
slope = m = (-1/3) ;
b = y-intercept = (10/3) ;
______________________________________________________
And we can write the equation of the line; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
______________________________________________________
" y = mx + b " ; as:
______________________________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
______________________________________________________
Now, the problem asks for the equation of this line; in "general form"; or "standard format"; which is:
________________________________________
"Ax + By + C = 0 " ;
________________________________________
So; given:
____________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
____________________________________
We can multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3" ; to get rid of the "fractions" ;
→ 3* { y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) } ;
→ 3y = -1x + 10 ;
↔ -1x + 10 = 3y ;
Subtract "(3y)" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
-1x + 10 − 3y = 3y − 3y ;
to get:
-1x + 10 − 3y = 0 ;
↔ -1x − 3y − 10 = 0 ;
→ This is not one of the "3 (THREE) answer choices given" ;
→ So, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "-1" ; as follows:
-1 * {-1x − 3y − 10 = 0} ;
to get:
______________________________________________________
→ " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] ."
______________________________________________________
Note that is equation is in the "standard format" ;
→ " Ax + By + C = 0 " .

2. 0.46
3a. 0.62 I'm not sure if this one's correct, it's worded weird

Answer:
30 pounds of hard candy and 30 pouonds of soft candy
Step-by-step explanation:
$2 per pound added with $4 per pound would become $3 per pound
x pounds plus 60 - x pounds will add up to 60 pounds
(multiply the top with the bottom)
2x + 4x = 3(60)
6x = 180
x = 30
60 - 30 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Although I cannot find any model or solver, we can proceed to model the optimization problem from the information given.
the problem is to maximize profit.
let desk be x
and chairs be y
400x+250y=P (maximize)
4x+3y<2000 (constraints)
according to restrictions y=2x
let us substitute y=2x in the constraints we have
4x+3(2x)<2000
4x+6x<2000
10x<2000
x<200
so with restriction, if the desk is 200 then chairs should be at least 2 times the desk
y=2x
y=200*2
y=400
we now have to substitute x=200 and y=400 in the expression for profit maximization we have
400x+250y=P (maximize)
80000+100000=P
180000=P
P=$180,000
the profit is $180,000
