Answer:
5x + 3y = 95
8x + 6y = 170
x = 10 ; y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
x = pack of juice boxes
y = pack of water bottles
Pack of juice box = $5
Pack of water bottles = $3
Amount of money spent :
5x + 3y = $95
Number of drinks purchased :
8x + 6y = 170
Using both equations ;
5x + 3y = 95 - - - (1)
8x + 6y = 170 - - - (2)
Multiply (1) by 6 and (2) by 3
30x + 18y = 570
24x + 18y = 510
Subtract :
6x = 60
x = 60 / 6
x = 10
Put x = 10 in (1)
5(10) + 3y = 95
50 + 3y = 95
3y = 95 - 50
3y = 45
y = 45 / 3
y = 15
x = 10 ; y = 15
The answer to your problem is A due to the slope of your line being -1/3x.
You can find this slope by picking two points on your graph [i.e. (-1,3) and (0,0)].
Find the difference between the two points, which is a one for the x value and a three for the y values. Now you have a slope of 1/3.
But wait! The slope is downwards, therefore a negative must be applied to your slope.
This provides you with a slope of -1/3x, therefore:
y = -1/3x
Answer:
- 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Change in enrollment = - 60
Period of time at which change occurred = 3 years
Average change per year :
Total change in enrollment / period at which change occurred
= - 60 / 3
= - 20
Average change of - 20 enrollments per year
You will get 20 tickets.<span />
