Answer:
11/15
Step-by-step explanation:
22/30 = 11/15 because they both have a common factor of 2 in the numerator and denominator.
This equation is currently in Point Slope Form. You can easily convert this form to Y Slope Intercept by following these steps.
Add 3 to both sides.
y = -2(x-2)
Simplify.
y = -2x + 4
Answer:
Actually, what you said you have so far is not correct. The 2 correct answers are the 1st one (x + y = 15) and the 5th one (15x + 10y > 180)
Step-by-step explanation:
If tutoring French is x hours and scooping ice cream is y hours and he is going to work 15 hours for sure doing both, then we can add them together to get that x hours + y hours = 15 hours, or put simply: x + y = 15.
Now we are going to throw in the added fun of the money he makes doing each. The thing to realize here is that we can only add like terms. So looking at the equation above, we have x hours of tutoring and y hours of scooping, so if we want to add them, we will add those number of hours together to get the total number of hours he worked, which we know to be 15. The same goes for money. If we add money earned from tutoring to money earned from scooping, we need that to be greater than the money he wants to earn which is 180 at least. Because he wants to earn MORE than $180. we use the ">" sign. Since he earns $15 an hour tutoring, that expression is $15x; since he earns $10 an hour scooping, that expression is $10y. Now add them together (and you CAN because they are both expressions relating dollars to dollars) and set the sum > $180:
$15x + $10y > $180. That's why your answer is not correct. Use mine (with the understanding that you care about why yours is wrong and mine is correct) and you'll be fine.
Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.
_____
<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
