Plug the value of 9 in for y
9=-3x+6
Subtract 6 from both sides
3=-3x
Divide both sides by -3
-1=x
Final answer: x=–1
Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
Answer:
1 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Well to find the average or the mean we need to add all the numbers,
3/8 + 2/4 + 5/8 + 7/8 + 1 1/8 + 1 5/8 + 1 7/8 + 4
= 11
Then we divide t by the number of numbers in the set.
11 ÷ 8 = 1 3/8
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>the average in the set is 1 3/8.</em>
