To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds: 3 x
Cost: 25.50 42.50
Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50
Answer:
large = 18 3/4 = 18.75
small = 13/2 = 6 1/2 = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the weight of large boxes
s = weight of small boxes
2 large and 3 small weights 57
2l+3s = 57
6 large and 5 small wights 145
6l+5s = 145
Multiply the first equation by 3
3(2l+3s) = 57*3
6l +9s =171
Subtract the second equation
6l +9s =171
-6l -5s = -145
-----------------------
4s =26
Divide each side by 4
4s/4 = 26/4
s = 26/4 = 13/2
Substitute this into the first equation
2l +3s = 57
2l + 3(13/2) =57
Multiply by 2 to get rid of the fractions
2(2l + 3(13/2)) =57*2
4l + 39 = 114
Subtract 39 from each side
4l +39-39 = 114-39
4l =75
Divide by 4
4l/4 = 75/4
l = 75/4 = 18 3/4
The number 0 is basically nothing, so 7 divided by nothing is not defined. That's why calculators or even the most powerful computer can't divide anything by 0
The answer is, y = -1/3 - 3
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)
Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5
therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58
answer: y=5x-58
Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3
Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3
answer: y=x/3
