A. Let x = cheese and
y = chocolate
2x + y = 25
x + y = 20
B. Subtract the second equation from the first.
2x + y = 25
-(x + y = 20)
-—————
x = 5
Plug 5 back in to the second equation and solve for y.
x + y = 20
5 + y = 20
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y = 15
5 cheese and 15 chocolate
Used elimination method because coefficients on the y values were both 1 so it was easy to subtract the equations and eliminate the y variable.
Corresponding sides must be proportional and corresponding angles are congruent.

Answer:
y=-1/5x-16/15
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form y=mx+b
3x+15y=-16
15y=-3x-16 divide both sides by 15
y=-3/15x-16/15 simplify -3/15 to -1/5
y=-1/5x-16/15

This is a geometric series with a common ratio between successive terms that is less than 1 in absolute value. This means the series will converge. The value of the sum is

.
The Equation of a Line
The slope-intercept form of a line can be written as:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the graph of the line and b is the y-intercept.
In the specific case where the line passes through the origin (0,0), we can find the value of b by substituting x=0 and y=0:
0 = m(0) + b
Solving for b:
b = 0.
Thus, the equation of the line reduces to:
y = mx
We only need to find the value of the slope.
That is where we need the second data. Our line is perpendicular to the line of equation 4x + 3y = 6.
Solving for y:

The slope of the second line is -4/3.
We must recall that if two lines of slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular, then:

Substituting the value of m1 and solving for m2:

The slope of our line is 3/4 and the required equation is:

From this last equation, we need to find the general form of the line.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
4y = 3x
Subtract 3x on both sides:
4y - 3x = 0
Reorder:
-3x + 4y = 0
