Answer:

Potato price = $1.5 / pound ; Carrot price = $1.75 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of carrot per pound = c

Let price of potatoes per pound = p

Given :

2c + 3p  = 8   (eqtn A)

4c + 4p = 13 (eqtn B)

Multiplying eqtn A by 2 ;

4c + 6p = 16

4c = 16 - 6p (eqtn Y)

By eqtn B ;

4c = 13 - 4p (eqtn Z)

By eqtn Y & Z ;

16 - 6p = 13 - 4p

16 - 13 = - 4p + 6p

3 = 2p

p = 3 /2

p = 1.5 [Potato price]

Putting p value in eqtn A

2c + 3 (1.5) = 8

2c + 4.5 = 8

2c = 8 - 4.5

2c = 3.5

c = 3.5 / 2

c = 1.75 [Carrot Price]

If x = 2 calculate the value of x squared- x
monitta
Plug the x value which is 2 back to the x and solve.

I gave you two answers because I wasn’t sure if the question was (x^2) - 2 or x^2-2.
Those two functions look similar but is totally different so keep that in mind.

Hope you have a victorious day!

A line passes through the points (−4, −1) and (−2, −4) . Fill in the boxes to complete an equation for the line in point-slope f
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Here, first we need to calculate for Slope:
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = -1-(-4) / -4-(-2)
m = 3 / -2
m = -3/2

Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 1 = -3/2(x + 4)
y + 1 = -3/2x - 6
y = -3/2x - 7

In short, Your Equation would be: y = -3/2x - 7

Hope this helps!
