$2.99 + 7% of $2.99 =

= $2.99 + 7% * $2.99

= $2.99 + 0.07 * $2.99

= $2.99 + $0.21

= $3.20

Y equals 8 X equals 575 Solve for slope intercept y equals mx + b

zhannawk [14.2K]

y = 8

x = 575

We want to solve for b in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

To complete this problem, we need the value of m, the slope. If you know m, then just plug into y = mx + b this way:

8 = 575m + b

A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 3 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost

umka21 [38]

c = cost per pound of chocolate chips

w = cost per pound of walnuts.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{3 lbs of "c"}}{3c}+\stackrel{\textit{5 lbs of "w"}}{5w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{15} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{12 lbs of "c"}}{12c}+\stackrel{\textit{2 lbs of "w"}}{2w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{33} \end{cases}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's use elimination} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{llccccccl} 3c+5w=15&\times (-4)\implies &-12c&+&-20w&=&-60\\ 12c+2w=33&&12c&+&2w&=&33\\ \cline{3-7}\\ &&0&&-18w&=&-27 \end{array}$

$\bf -18w=-27\implies w=\cfrac{-27}{-18}\implies \blacktriangleright w=\cfrac{3}{2} \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{3c+5\left(\cfrac{3}{2} \right)=15}\implies 3c+\cfrac{15}{2}=15 \implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( 3c+\cfrac{15}{2} \right)=2(15)} \\\\\\ 6c+15=30\implies 6c=15\implies c=\cfrac{15}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright c=\cfrac{5}{2} \blacktriangleleft$
