Let us say that:

x = cost of shorts

y = cost of slacks

z = cost of sports coat

 

From the given statements, we can create the following equations:

eqtn 1: 3 x + y = 10.96

eqtn 2:  7 x + 2 y + z = 30.40

eqtn 3:  4 x + z = 14.45

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

y = 10.96 – 3 x                    --> eqtn 4

 

Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:

z = 14.45 – 4x                     --> eqtn 5

 

Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn 2:

7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40

- 3 x = - 5.97

x = 1.99

 

Eqtn 4:

y = 10.96 – 3 x   

y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)

y = 4.99

 

Eqtn 5:

z = 14.45 – 4x

z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)

z = 6.49

 

 

Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99, and each sports coat cost $6.49.

4(2 - 5x) = 6 - 3(1 - 3x) \\ 8 -  20x = 3(1  - 3x) \\ 8 - 20x = 3  +  9x \\ subtract \: 9x \: from \: bth \: sides \\  8 - 29x = 3 \\ subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides \\  - 29x =  - 5 \\ divide \:  - 29 \: both \: sides \\ x =  \frac{5}{29}

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 8 and y-intercept -8.​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

y = 8x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b is slope-intercept form

m - slope

b - y-intercept

so if you plug in 8 for m and -8 for b you'll get

y = 8(m)x - 8(b)

Hope this helps!!
