Susan wants to make pumpkin bread and coffee cakes for the school bake sale. She has 15 eggs and 16 cups of flour in her pantry.

Her pumpkin bread recipe uses 2 eggs and 3 cups of flour. Her coffee cake recipe uses 3 eggs and 4 cups of flour. She plans to sell pumpkin bread loaves for $5 each and coffee cake loaves for $4 each. Susan wants to maximize the money raised at the bake sale. Let x represent the number of loaves of pumpkin bread and y represent the number of loaves of coffee cake Susan bakes.
What is the objective function for the problem?
P = 15x + 16y
P = 5x + 7y
P = 5x + 4y
P = 4x + 5y

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to 3x-4y=6 and passes through the point (-12,10)
horsena [70]
Answer:

y = 3/4x + 19

Explanation:

First we need to write the equation in the form y=mx+c:

3x-4y=6
-4y=-3x+6
y=3/4x-3/2

Because the lines are parallel, we can deduce that the gradients (m) are equal. That means that the gradient of our new equation will also be 3/4.

We will now use the following equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We will substitute in the new line’s gradient as well as the coordinates we were given:

y - 10 = 3/4(x + 12)

Now we solve this equation into the form y=mx+c:

y - 10 = 3/4x + 9
y = 3/4x + 19

a_{n} = +(n-1)d

We are given the first term and the common difference.

So,

a_{1}=-10 \\ \\ d=5

Using these values in the given equation, we get:

a_{n} =-10+(n-1)*5 \\  \\ &#10; a_{n} = -10 + 5n - 5 \\  \\ &#10; a_{n} = 5n -15

So, option C gives the correct answer.

How to add and subtract rational numbers
ddd [48]

Get a common denominator and add / subtract.

Example: (1/8) + (2/8) = Since they are the same denominator, add (3/8)

Example: (1/8) - (2/8) = (-1/8)

Example: (1/8) + (1/4) = They are not same denominator so:

Multiply one of the fractions by a factor over a factor (x/x) to make it the same denominator!

(1/4) * (2/2) = (2/8)

(1/8) + (2/8) = (3/8)

Example: (1/8) + (1/7) = If they are not easily factored, just use this trick:

Multiply the left fraction by the right denominator and the right fraction by the left denominator

(1/8) * (7/7) = 7/56

(1/7) * (8/8) = 8/56

7/56 + 8/56 = 15/56
