Jolie is thinking of two numbers. the first number is three more than twice the second number. the sum of the two numbers is 22.

which system of equations can be used to determine the first number, x, and the second number, y?

X + y = 22
x = 2y + 3

this would be ur system of equations

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines y=−x2+14 and 3x−4y=−1 are parallel.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: the lines are not parallel.

Explanation: if you isolate the x in 3x^2-4y=-1, the equation is y=3/4x^2+1/4

So, they are not parallel because the slope is not the same.

An animal feed to be mixed from soybean meal and oats must contain at least 168 lb of protein, 27 lb of fat, and 14 lb of minera

atroni [7]

Answer:

The animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats

$Cost = 51.275$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be summarized as:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {x} & {y} & {Total} & {Protein} & {70} & {21} & {168} &{Fats}& {9} & {7} & {27} & {Minerals} & {7} & {1} & {14}& {Cost} & {21} & {7} & {} \ \end{array}$

Where: x = Soybeans and y = Oats.

So, the system of equations are:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

The best way to solve this, is using graph

Plot the following equations on a graph, and get the points of intersection:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

From the attached graph, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

Substitute each of the values of x's and y's in the cost function to get the minimum cost:

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.636 + 7 * 2.545$

$Cost = 52.171$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.775 + 7 * 1.575$

$Cost = 48.3$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

$Cost = 21 * 2.023 + 7 * 1.256$

$Cost = 51.275$

The values of x and y that gives the minimum cost is:

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

and the minimum cost is:

$Cost = 48.3$

Hence, the animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats
