Answer:
y = 9 + 19x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation matching a set of data, you simply try a few values for x and see if by solving that side of the equation you get the value of y. If you do, you found your equation.
You have a big advantage here... since you have the value of y when x = 0.
When x = 0, y = 9, that's a very important data to have to simplify your research.
Let's try the value of 0 for x in each of the given equations:
y = 18 + 10 (0) = 18 --- NO
y = 9 + 19 (0) = 9 --- YES! We can confirm with another value of x:
y = 9 + 19 (1) = 28 --- YES! Confirmed!
y = 9 + 19x is your answer!
Okay, it's wrong because they forgot to do -2 times 3x.
The correct answer is
-2x-8
Hope i got is correct!

Answer:
<em>The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
a = pounds of apples
b = pounds of bananas
The baker bought a total of 12 pounds of apples and bananas, thus:
a + b = 12 [1]
Apple cost $0.75 per pound and each pound of bananas cost $1.05 per pound. Thus the total cost is 0.75a + 1.05b. We know he spent a total of $10.20, thus
0.75a + 1.05b = 10.20 [2]
Solving [1] for a:
a = 12 - b [3]
Substituting in [2]:
0.75(12 - b) + 1.05b = 10.20
Operating
9 - 0.75b + 1.05b = 10.20
Simplifying:
0.30b = 10.20 - 9 = 1.20
Dividing by 0.30:
b = 1.20/0.30
b = 4
From [3]:
a = 12 - 4 = 8
a = 8
The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas
