Answer:
20 ton
Step-by-step explanation:
We created a system of two separate equations to answer these questions.
"y" will be the total cost to transport the sugar
"x" will be the amount of sugar transported
Therefore, we have to:
y = 3995 + 225.50 * x
y = 6500 + 100.25 * x
We must establish these equations equal to each other because it asks how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, therefore:
3995 + 225.50 * x = 6500 + 100.25 * x
solved we have:
225.50 * x - 100.25 * x = 6500 - 3995
125.25 * x = 2505
x = 2505 / 125.25
x = 20
which means that when the amount of sugar transported is 20 tons, the price is the same
If you are graphing quadratic equations of the type
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
The equation will look like a "U" <span>if "a" is positive </span>or it will look like an upside-down "U" <span>if "a" is negative </span>
Answer: 17
21-4=17
4+17=21
21+17=38 and so on..
