Lines y=-x+2 and y=3x+1 intersect the y=axis. If you plot them out on a graph using the equation y=mx+b, then they are parallel and are set on the y-axis.
Answer:
C = 125S + $3750
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported. C is the cost; S is the number of tons transported. The equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b. This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only. You would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750). As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.
Answer:
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = price of balcony tickets
y = price of orchestra tickets
y = 3x (1)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (2)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
148(3x) + 76x = 3,640
444x + 76x = 3,640
520x = 3,640
x = 3,640/520
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into (1)
y = 3x (1)
y = 3(7)
y = 21
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
