A box has twice as many grapes as a basket. Once 2kg of grapes were added to the basket, it contained 0.5 kg more than the box.

How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?

By solving a system of equations, we will see that now there are 3.5kg of grapes on the basket.

<h3>How many kilograms of grapes are in the basket now?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

  • x = kg of grapes on the box originally.
  • y = kg of grapes on the basket originally.

We know that:

x = 2y

When we add 2kg to the basket, it has 0.5k more than the box, then:

y + 2 = x + 0.5

Then we have a system of equations:

x = 2y

y + 2 = x + 0.5

We want to solve this for y, then we can replace the first equation into the second one:

y + 2 = (x = 2y) + 0.5

y + 2 = 2y + 0.5

2 - 0.5 = 2y - y

1.5 = y

This means that, originally, there are 1.5 kg of grapes on the basket. And then we added 2kg, so now there are:

1.5kg + 2kg = 3.5kg

Write an equation that passes through the points (0,-5) and (8,-5)
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Equation of the line: y = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x_0,\, y_0) and (x_1,\, y_1) denote the coordinates of these two points, respectively.

Calculate the slope m of this line:

\displaystyle m = \frac{y_1 - y_0}{x_1 - x_0} = \frac{(-5) - (-5)}{8 - 0} = 0.

Notice that the slope is zero because the two points have the same y-coordinates (y_0 = y_1 = -5) even though their x-coordinates are distinct (x_0 \ne x_1.)

Equation for this line in point-slope form:

y - y_0 = m\, (x - x_0).

y - (-5) = 0\, (x - 0).

Rewrite and simplify to obtain the equation of this line in slope-intercept form:

y = -5.

The x-term was eliminated because the slope was zero.
