Let
 x = loaves of bread
 y = batches of muffins
 You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
 3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
 0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
 Resolving we have
 x = 6-y (from (2))
 replacing in (1)
 3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
 21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
 y = 21-17 = 4
 Then substituting in (2)
 x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
 Answer
 Helena could bake:
 2 loaves of bread
 4 batches of muffins

ΔABC is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. The pattern of its sides is as follows:

Each leg = 1 unit (and both legs are that way, since the triangle is isosceles - so two sides are the same)

Hypotenuse = √2 units.

So if we know either leg, we multiply by √2 to get the hypotenuse. In reverse, we divide by √2 if we know the hypotenuse to get the measurement of a leg.

Our problem tells us that the hypotenuse AC is 10 units. We divide 10 by √2 to get the measurement of leg AB. Since it's a 45 -45 - 90 triangle, AB = BC.

AB = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}} to rationalize the radical

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

Thus, each leg is 5\sqrt{2} [/tex].

which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities? (is my selected answer correct, if not please help!!)
algol [13]

Answer:

the graph on the right-top

Step-by-step explanation:

Transferring an "x" to the right side in x+y\ge-3, we get y\ge -x-3

The system of inequalities is

\left \{ {{y

We have y=2x+2 - ascending function with a=2, b=2

b=2 shows that ascending function intersects Y-axis is in y=2 - that situation is only on the right-top and left-down. So, we refuse left-top and right-down.

y=-x-3 - descending function with a=-1, b=-3

y<2x+2 is an area below the ascending function and we see that on the left-

y\ge-x-3 is an area above the descending function

On the left-down we have an area above both functions, so we refuse this picture

Right-top is correct

Find the equation of the graphed line.?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

c.  y = x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a straight line whose general form is y = mx + c.

The slope is (0, -6) / (6, 0)

= -6 / -6

= 1 so the coefficient of x , (m)  is 1.

The value of  c ( the y-intercept) is -6.
