I believe 2 dollars and 50 cents
The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that one of the lines is simply y=-1 for any x, so we can dismiss the only answer without y=-1. That rejected answer is A)
Now let's notice, that the other line is decreasing y when increasing x. That tells us that in the equation y = ax + b, a has to be negative. This brings us to reject option D).
What is the y of that line for x = 0? Because y = ax + b, for x = 0 we will get the value of b. This is called the intercept. The line is at y=4 for x=0, so we know that the b in the equation must be positive 4. This fits answer C, but rejects answer B). And so, we have found that C) is the only possible answer.
Answer:
The answer in lowest terms is 15/17
