Answer:
a). y = 0.25x + 15
b). x = 480 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Let the equation of the linear function passing through a point (x', y') is,
y - y' = m(x - x')
'm' = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Two points lying on the linear function will be (200, 65) and (250, 77.5).
Slope of the line 'm' = 
m = 
= 
= 0.25
Therefore, equation of the line passing through (200, 65) and slope 0.25 will be,
y - 65 = 0.25(x - 200)
y - 65 = 0.25x - 50
y = 0.25x + 15
(b). For y = $135 we have to calculate the number of cups of coffee produced.
135 = 0.25x + 15
0.25x = 135 - 15
0.25x = 120
x = 480 cups
Therefore, 480 cups of coffee will be produced.
36 gallons is equal to 144 quarts.
To solve this find the common number that can be divided by both and use that number.
In this case, 4 is divisible by both 4 and 12, and thus the final expression would be
4(d + 3e).
