Answer:
15u + 141 = 420
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically we are modelling how much the coach is spending. Each player is given a uniform and a basketball
We can use 'u' as the cost of a single uniform
We can use 'b' as the cost of a single basketball
Since there is 15 players we must give a ball and uniform to each so
15u + 15b = 420
The problem gives us the cost of each basketball: 9.40
so now 15u + 15(9.4) = 420
15u + 141 = 420
You distribute -4 to each in the parentheses then you get -24 - 4b = 4 then you add 24 on both sides and get -4b = 28 then you divide each side by -4 and it equals -7
7x - y= -5. Standard form is when it is written with x and y on the same side, but x is not negative or a fraction. To find the slope and y intercept, you must change the first two equations to slope intercept. You get y=7x-5 for the first one and y=11/3x+5 for the seccond equation. Take the 5 as your y intercept and the 7 as your slope and you get y=7x+5. Now you need to change it into standard form. When all is said and done, your final answer should be 7x - y = -5.
