Answer:
Form an equation:
let x be the price of a shirt
Then, the price of a sweater would be x - 5
So you would have:
4(x - 5) + 3x = 200
simplify
4x - 20 + 3x = 200
7x - 20 = 200
add 20 to both sides
7x = 220
divide both sides by 7
x = about 31.43
That means the cost of the sweater would be 31.43 - 5 = 26.43
IF i did my math correct it should be the 2nd answer b
You mean
the linear equations, 5x-y+1=0,4x-y+1=0
the slopes are 5 and 4 respectively.
it is clear that slope of first equation is greater that is it has a steeper graph therefore it Will always be greater than the other for x > 1
the same can be done by calculus; differentiation.
note y=5x+1 is always greater than y=4x+1 for all x>1
