Reason 1 and 2 are the best answers
1. t+b=280
2t+3b=660
b=-t+280
2t-3t+840=660
-t=-180
t=180
b=100
He sold 180 tacos and 100 burritos
2. x=5 cent pencils
y=10 cent pens
x+y=1000
.05x+.1y=74.5
y=-x+1000
.05x-.1x+100=74.5
-1.5x=-25.5
15x=255
x=17
y=983
They sold 17 pencils and 983 pens
(7,5) is the solution to this system.
Answer:
using the equation of the line y = mx + b
m= slope
b = y intercept
y= - 1.5x - 4 m = -1.5 b = -4
y = -3x + 4 m = -3 b = 4
y = 3x m = 3 b = 0
y = 1.5x - 7 m = 1.5 b = -7
y = 7 m = 0 b = 7
Hope this helps.
