What do you need help with?
south side of town? I think
STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags
*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag
= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag
STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples
= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed
*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag
STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX
calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag
= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag
ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.
Hope this helps! :)
Well,
If the slope of the lines are the same, then the lines are parralel.
We need to manipulate 2y - 10x = 4 into y = mx + b form.
Add 10x to both sides
2y = 10x + 4
Divide both sides by 2
y = 5x + 2
Do the same thing with the other equation.
Add 2 to both sides
y = 5x + 2
y = 5x + 2
It appears that, not only are they parallel, but they lie on exactly the same line! If this was a System of Simultaneous Linear Equations, then there would be an infinite number of solutions!<span />
