I'm assuming you have to graph a line that shows the combination of earnings.
Our equation is 14.64y + 12.20x = 219.60
We'll be solving for x and y. We'll need to substitute the variables, one at a time, to 0, in order to find their intercepts.
Let's do x first.
14.64(0) + 12.20x = 219.60
12.20x = 219.60
Divide by 12.20 on both sides.
x = 18
Now let's solve for y.
14.46y + 12.20(0) = 219.60
14.46y = 219.60
Divide both sides by 14.46.
y = 15.18
That is actually a long decmal, but since we're dealing with money, we round it down to the nearest cent.
So, now we know x = 18 and y = 15.18.
Graph those on the x coordinate plane and the y coordinate plane, and make a line connecting the two. That line represents all the solutions.
Answer:
x=4, y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve with substitution.
You would solve using elimination.
y=1
x=-1
-9.75 + 3.25x
= -3.25(3) + 3.25(x)
= -3.25(3) - -3.25(x) <em>notice they have the same factor of -3.25</em>
= -3.25(3 - x)
Answer: A
