Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola

that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. Which is the first error that Tomas made? Tomas substituted the 3 for x when he should have substituted 6 for x. Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6. Tomas should have written the equation as . Tomas substituted 3 for x when he should have substituted 3 for y.(for edgenuit/y)

Answer:

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.

Given:

2x + 6y = 12

where

x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts

The correct solution to the problem

x = 3 pounds

2x + 6y = 12

2(3) + 6y = 12

6 + 6y = 12

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6

6y = 6

Divide both sides by 6

y = 6/6

= 1

y = 1 pound

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Samantha walked 11km/h so after 1 hour, she is 11 km west of the house of Julia.

The points where Mia and Samantha are after 1 hour , and the house of Julia form a right triangle with sides 7 and 11 km. The distance between the girls, is the hypotenuse of his triangle.

 by the pythagorean theorem:

MS= \sqrt{ 7^{2} + 11^{2} }= \sqrt{49+121}= \sqrt{170}=  13 (km)

What are the coordinates of the x and y intercepts of the equation 3x+2y=12
Sonbull [250]
To find the x-intercept you must make y=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for y
3x+2(0)=12 - multiply 2 and 0
3x+0=12 - add zero
3x=12 - divide by 3
x=4

To find the y-intercept you must make x=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for x
3(0)+2y=12 - multiply 3 and 0
0+2y=12 - add 0 and 2y
2y=12 - divide by 2
y=6
