Answer:
A.) 20x + 2y = 500
B.) y-intercept = 250; its meaning is how many boxes of pencils they started with.
C.) x-intercept = 25; How many T-shirts they can sell at most
Step-by-step explanation:
2y - 500 = -20x
20x + 2y - 500 = 0
20x + 2y = 500
y-intercept = 250; its meaning is how many boxes of pencils they started with.
20x + 2y = 500
20(0) + 2y = 500
2y = 500
2y/2 = 500/2
y = 250
x-intercept = 25; How many T-shirts they can sell at most
20x + 2y = 500
20x + 2(0) = 500
20x = 500
20x/20 = 500/20
x = 25
(a) P( fifth one is bad) = P( first 4 are OK) * P(5th is bad)
= (0.98)^4 * 0.02 = 0.0184 or 1.84%
(b) this will be (0.98)^10 = 81.70%

Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps the ordered pair you want is the one that satisfies both equations.
We can find that by equating the expressions for y:
x +5 = 3x -3
8 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 3-x to both sides
4 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 4+5 = 9
The ordered pair is (x, y) = (4, 9).
