(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Answer:
Number of children = 386
Number of adults = 287
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of children
y = number of adults
x + y = 673 (1)
1.75x + 2y = 1249.50 (2)
From (1)
x = 673 - y
Substitute x = 673 - y into (2)
1.75x + 2y = 1249.50
1.75(673 - y) + 2y = 1249.50
1177.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50
- 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50 - 1177.75
0.25y = 71.75
y = 71.75/0.25
y = 287
Substitute y = 287 into (1)
x + y = 673
x + 287 = 673
x = 673 - 287
x = 386
Number of children = 386
Number of adults = 287
The equation of a line is y = mx + b
We know there is a b because the y intercept is not zero, so the first choice is wrong. We also know the last choice is wrong because this problem definitely has a slope (m).
The slope of the line of best fit seems to be closest to 3.25, meaning it goes up about that much for every one unit it goes to the right.
The second choice is correct.
Answer:
-610, -94, -0.75, 2.1, 53
