Question

Bow is running a concession stand at a baseball game. He is selling nachos and water. Each other nachos cost $2.00, and a bottle of water $1.00. At the end of the game, he made a total of $86. Both sold a total of 60 orders of nachos and bottles of water combined. Let X equal the number of nacho sold and Y equals the number of water sold. The system of each equations is grafted below. Is there a viable solution, if so what is the ordered pair?

Answer 1

The Solution:

From the graph, there is a point of intersection between the graphs of the two equations in the system. This implies that:

There is a viable solution to the given system of equations at the point where the two lines intersect, that is, at the point (26,34).

So, the correct answer is [option 3]
