Answer:
it looks like you already have the answer but the answer would be slope as -1/3 and y intercept as -6
Answer: it makes 126 copies
Explanation:
15/60=6/24
5x24=120
6+120= 126
The answer to your question would be -10
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Answer:
3/2 x +1 = 5/4x - 5
3/2 x+1 =5/4
x−5
Step 1: Subtract 5/4x from both sides.
3/2 x+1−5/4
x=5
4x−5−5/4x
1/4x+1=−5
Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/4x+1−1=−5−1
1/4
x=−6
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4.
4*(1/4x)=(4)*(−6)
x=−24 Mary has 24 shells
Answer:
-x=−24
x = 24 shells
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2 3/4 x 16 = 44 + 6 = 50 shells x= 16
2 3/4 x 24 = 66 + 6 = 72 x = 24
We see the side workings in bold as if Mary has 24 and Nancy has 1x more
Then Nancy 24+24 = 48 where Gracie 5 x 24 = 120 and we have 72-48 = 24 and 120-72 = 48 being the same as Nancy. You can ignore or check the rest in explanation.
2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 + 6 = 55 1/2 x= 18
2. 2 3/4 x 16 = 44 -4 = 40 shells x = 16 2 3/4 x 24 = 66 - 4 = 62 x = 24
2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 - 4 = 45 1/2 x = 18
3. 2 3/4 x 16 = 44 + 4 = 48 shells x = 16 2 3/4 x 24 = 66 + 4 = 70 x = 24
2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 + 4 =53 1/2 x = 18
