Answer:

1.15p + 285 = 5.84

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds

p = apple pounds

b = banana pounds

<u>Cost</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

<u>Pounds</u>

p + b = 3.8

<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>

p + b = 3.8

b = -p + 3.8

<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) =  5.84

<u>distribute / multiply  .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>

1.90p +  -.75p + 2.85 =  5.84

<u>Combine the p values</u>

1.15p + 285 = 5.84

How to find an equation for a line through two given points?​
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Then

y = 0.6x + b

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

y = 0.6x + b

3 = 0.6*4 + b

2.4 + b = 3

b = 0.6

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent
babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)
