Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

... 6.05/0.55 = 11

groups to bring the total value to the $6.05 remaining after ignoring the extra dimes.

A phone company charges $0.50 per minute and a connection fee of $1. If you were to represent the total cost y of an x minute ca
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50

Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0

We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.

According to the question:

Let the number of minutes be "x" .

And the total cost charged be "y" .

So,

The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee

Re-arranging in term of x and y.

⇒ total\ cost = (no.\ of\ minutes)(per\ minute\ charge) + connection\ fee

⇒ y=0.50(x)+1   ...equation (i)

Slope- intercept form: y=m(x) +b  m is the slope and b is the y-is   intercept.

⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.

⇒ m=0.50  and  b=1

So,

The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
