<u>Answer-</u>

y-100=-\frac{25}{2}(x-4)

<u>Solution-</u>

We can generate an equation that will represent Eric’s gift card balance, by taking two points from the table and applying two point formula to get the linear relationship between card balance and time.

Taking the time on abscissa and card balance on ordinate, the two points would be (2, 125), (4, 100)

\Rightarrow \frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}

\Rightarrow \frac{y-125}{100-125}=\frac{x-2}{4-2}

\Rightarrow \frac{y-125}{-25}=\frac{x-2}{2}

\Rightarrow -\frac{y}{25}+5=\frac{x}{2}-1

\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{25}-6=0

\Rightarrow \frac{25x+2y-300}{50}=0

\Rightarrow 25x+2y-300=0

\Rightarrow y=\frac{300-25x}{2}

\Rightarrow y=150-\frac{25}{2}x

This is the equation for the Eric’s gift card balance.

Comparing this equation with general slope-intercept equation of the line, we get

Slope=-\frac{25}{2} \ and\ y-intercept=150

Applying point-slope formula taking point as (4, 100), we get

\Rightarrow y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\Rightarrow y-100=-\frac{25}{2}(x-4)

This is the desired equation.

One day, a café sells 3 more than twice the number of cappuccinos as they do lattes. They sold a total of 33 cappuccinos and lat
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

x +(2x + 3) = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from the question

c = 3 + 2x equation 1

c + x = 33 equation 2

where :

c =  cappuccinos

x =  lattes

make c the subject of the formula in equation 2

c = 33 - x equation 3

equate 3 and 1

x +(2x + 3) = 33
