Answer:
It is a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x - 8
Let x = -9 and y = 28
Substitute these values in
28 = -4(-9) -8
28 = 36 -8
28 =28
This is true so it is a solution
Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.
x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs
Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.
Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit
Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION
From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:
Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:
Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:
Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m
Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.
Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30
Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.
Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3
Through this, we have established that:
m = 3
b = - 30
Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:
y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )
ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30
First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;
y=mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept
8y - 3x = -8
Add 2x to both-side of the equation
8y = 3x - 8
Divide through the equation by 8
y = 3/8 x -1
comparing the above with y =mx + b
m = 3/8
slope of parallel equations are equal
From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;
y= 3/8 x + 8
The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8
Answer:
5 3/4
Step by step explanation:
Find a common denominator in this case is 4 so instead of adding 2 1/2 to 3 1/4 it’s going to be 3 1/4 + 2 2/4 which gets you 5 3/4
