Haley is comparing the cost of a fresh lobster dinner at two different restaurants. The first restaurant charges $29 for the mea

l, plus $6 per kilogram for the lobster she picks. At the second restaurant, Haley would pay $3 per kilogram for the lobster, in addition to $41 for the meal. Haley realizes that, in theory, dinner at both restaurants could cost the same amount if the lobster had a certain weight. How much would Haley pay for her dinner? What is the weight?

First restaurant price: 29 + 6l = x

x = final cost

l = kilo of lobster

Second restaurant price: 41 + 3l = x

We want them to be the same price, so: 29 + 6l = 41 + 3l

Subtract 3l from each side

29 + 3l = 41

Subtract 29 from both sides

3l = 12

Divide both sides by 3

l = 4

So, if she buys 4 kilograms of lobster from either place, it will cost the same.

It would cost $53.

Graph f(x) =x and g(x) =-1/3x+2
Serjik [45]
Hello! I'll write the instructions to graph these functions.

f(x)=x
Technically, this function is y=x, so the slope would be 1. To graph this one, start at the origin (0,0) and move up one unit, and to the right one unit since this is a positive slope.

g(x)= -1/3x+2
First, plot a point at y=2 when x=0. 2 is your y-intercept. Your slope is negative, so the line will be decreasing. From your first point, head down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. Continue plotting points from the previous points.

Also, if you have a graphing calculator, here are the steps to graphing the functions: ON, Y= (enter your functions), and press GRAPH or 2nd, TABLE to see individual points. Hope this helps! :)
