A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 152} {32x + 12y = 420} In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

The given equations are

12x + 4y = 152 ...........1

32x + 12y = 420 .....2

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make  coefficient of y same we have:

36x+12y= 456

32x+12y=420

Subtracting the two equations we have:

4x=36.

Dividing by 4 both sides

x= 9.

Substituting x value in equation 1

12(9) + 4y = 152

108+4y=152

Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.

Dividing both sides by 4.

y=11.

cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.


In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.

Explain how you would graph 3x+9y= -18 without converting to slope-intercept form​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

you would solve using x and y intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the X intercept, Y=0

3x=-18. you divide by three on both sides

x=-6. (-6,0)

the for the y intercept, X=0

+9y=-18. you divide 9 on both sides.

y=-2. (0,-2)

then you graph both and connect the points on the x and y axis.

1. Regina. Phil and Joseph each wrote expressions to represent their hourly
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Regina: 6.5h

Phil: 3(2.5h+5)

When you plug in the number of hours, you get the weekly pay.  In order to get the same weekly pay, set the equations equal to each other.

6.5h=3(2.5h+5), This is an equation to find the number of hours it will take for them to get equal pay. Now, simplify.

6.5h=7.5h+15

-h=15

h=-15, -15 hours is your answer. You can't work negative hours though which means that Regina and Phil will never be able to make the same amount.

Phil has a higher rate and starting value, this means that Regina will never make the same amount working the same hours.
