Answer:
23x + 18y = 1446
x + y = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
The bakery made $1446 total. We represent this as the cost of each cake ($23) times the number of cakes sold (x) plus the cost of each dozen cupcakes ($18) times the number of cupcakes sold (y). 
Thus, 23x +18y = $1446.
The bakery sold 72 items total. We represent this as the number of cakes sold (x) plus the number of each dozen cupcakes sold (y).
Thus, x + y = 72.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
the line rises from left to right 
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is a positive number, therefore it will be rising, not dropping/falling, or going down.

Answer:
- 19 ≤ 19 . . . true
- 19 < 19 . . . false
- x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A) A number cannot be less than itself, but can be equal to itself.
In each case, the left side of the inequality evaluates to 19:
   4(5) -1 = 20 -1 = 19
It is true that 19 is less than or equal to 19. This is true because 19 = 19.
It is not true that 19 is less than 19. A number cannot be less than itself.

B) 5x +2 = 47
   5x = 45 . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides
   x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5
The element 9 from the set is the solution to the equation.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The equation of a line through (5 -3) that is parallel to y = 1/2 x+3 is 
y = - 2 x  + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the slope of the line whose equation we need to find is m 1.
The line parallel to the needed line  is:   y=1/2x+3
Comparing it with the general form: y = m x + C
we get m 2 = 1/2
Now, as Line 1 is Perpendicular to Line 2.
⇒ m 1 x m 2  = -1
⇒ m 1 x ( 1/2)  = -1
⇒ m 1  = - 2
Also, the point son the line 1 is given as: (x,y)  = (5,-3)
Put the value of point and Slope in y = m x + C to find the value of Y- INTERCEPT.
we get: -3 = (-2) (5) +  C
or, C = -3 + 10 = 7
⇒ C = 7
The general line equation is given as:  y = m x + C
Substituting  the values of C and m, we get:
y = - 2 x  + 7
Hence, the equation of a line through 5 -3 that is parallel to y = 1/2 x+3 is 
y = - 2 x  + 7
