Taylor and her children bought 4 bags of popcorn and 6 candies.

How to create linear equation using two variables?
If an equation is written in the form ax + by + c=0, where a, b, and c are real integers and the coefficients of x and y, i.e., a and b, respectively, are not equal to zero, then it is said to be a linear equation in two variables. Such an equation has a pair of numbers as its solution, one for x and one for y, which further equalizes the two sides of the equation. A specific point on the graph represents the solution of a linear equation in two variables, ax + by = c, where the total of these two values will equal c when the x-coordinate is multiplied by a and the y-coordinate by b. Basically, there are infinitely many solutions to a linear equation with two variables.

Let the number of bags of popcorn be = x
Let the number of candies be = y
Given, she bought $ 81 worth of bags of popcorn and candies.
Also, each bag of popcorn costs $9 and each candy costs $4.50.
Thus, the equation for the same is ⇒ 9x + 4.50y = 81  -- (i)
Again, she bought 6 more candies than bags of popcorn.
Thus, the equation for the same is ⇒ y = x + 6  --(ii)
Using (i) and (ii), we have,
9x + 4.50(x + 6) = 81 ⇒ 9x + 4.50x + 27 = 81 ⇒ 13.50x = 54 ⇒ x = 4
Using x = 4 and (ii), we get,
y = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
Thus, (4, 10) is the point where the two equations meet.
Therefore, they bought 4 bags of popcorn and 6 candies.

Please help!!! 98 Points!!!<br><br>Find the values of x and z.​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

z=63°{vertically opposite angle}

now,

z+10x+97=18o°{straight angle}

63+10x+97=180°

10x=180-133

x=<u>2</u><u>0</u>

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>10

x=2

hope it helps.

Write an equation in slope - intercept to represent the relationship in the table
Nataly_w [17]
Pick 2 random ascending x values and calculate the difference delta to get the slope
\delta \: x =  - 2 - ( - 1) = 1
so your slope is "1"

and as you can see, that x=0 at y=3, so your y-intercept is 3
thats it, your function is
f(x) = x + 3
