Could u click select so we can see the choices
Hello!
Let's put this into a system of equations and have a represent the apples and o represent the oranges.
o=2a+2
0.5o-0.5a=4
Since we can already so what o equals (2a+2) we will substitute it into the second equation and solve for a.
0.5(2a+2)-0.5a=4
1a+1-0.5a=4
1.5a+1=4
1.5a=3
a=2
Now that we know the value of a will put a into the first equation to find o.
o=2(2)+2
o=4+2
o=6
There were 6 oranges and 2 apples.
I hope this helps!
For the sake of simplicity
obama = 66 mil
romney = 61 mil
66+61 = 127mil total votes
there are 66mil chances to pick an obama vote from 127mil -- 66/127
there are 61mil chance to pick a romney vote from 127 mil -- 61/127
see where im going with this?
Y = -4x + 2
3x + 2y = 6 (or in y-intercept form y=-3/2x + 3)
2x - y = 7 equals y = 2x -7 in y-intercept form. This means that the line has a positive slope and therefore goes upwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line shown is clearly pointing downwards.
y=5 indicates that the line is a horizontal line that neither points upwards or downwards. This cannot be a potential equation because the line is pointing downwards.
The only possible equations left are y= -4x + 2 and 3x + 2y = 6, both of which graph a line pointing downwards because their slopes are negative. Hope this helps!
