Use your knowledge of the process of "Writing an equation given two points" to solve the following problem: A vendor has learned

that, by pricing his deep fried bananas on a stick at $1.00, sales will reach 100 per day. Raising the price to $2.00 will cause the sales to fall to 52 per day. Let y be the number of the vendor sells at x dollars each. Write a linear equation that models the number of sold per day when the price is x dollars each.

Answer: Our required linear equation would be x+48y=148

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of deep fried bananas on a stick = $1.00

Number of sales reached = 100 per day

Cost of deep fried bananas on a stick becomes = $2.00

Number of sales reached = 52 per day.

Let x is the number of dollars each.

Let y be the number of vendors sale.

So, we need to form the linear equation:

As we know the formula for two point slope form:

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=\dfrac{2-1}{52-100}(x-100)\\\\y-1=\dfrac{1}{-48}(x-100)\\\\-48(y-1)=(x-100)\\\\-48y+48=x-100\\\\-48y=x-100-48\\\\-48y=x-148\\\\x+48y=148

Hence, our required linear equation would be x+48y=148

if 3 half-gallon containers of ice cream on sale for $6.69,what is the price for 2 half-gallon containers?​
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Answer:  $4.46</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

3 containers = 6.69 dollars

3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 container = 2.23 dollars

2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2

2 containers = 4.46 dollars

A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3

Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities shown below? y&gt;4 x-5\hspace{50px}y\ge\frac{3}{5} x-1 y&g
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x < \frac{20}{17} and y \ge \frac{-5}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y>4 x-5\hspace{50px}y\ge\frac{3}{5} x-1

Required

Find x and y

In the second equation. Assume that:

y = \frac{3}{5}x - 1\\

Substitute y = \frac{3}{5}x - 1 in the first equation

y > 4x - 5

\frac{3}{5}x - 1 > 4x - 5

Collect like terms

\frac{3}{5}x - 4x >  - 5 + 1

\frac{3}{5}x - 4x >  -4

Multiply through by 5

3x - 20x > -20

-17x > -20

Solve for x

x < \frac{20}{17}

Substitute this value of x in y \ge \frac{3}{5}x - 1

y \ge \frac{3}{5}*\frac{20}{17} - 1

y \ge \frac{3}{1}*\frac{4}{17} - 1

y \ge \frac{12}{17} - 1

y \ge \frac{12- 17}{17}

y \ge \frac{-5}{17}
