Can someone please explain this question? I have a pic

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

recall in a linear equation expressed in the form

y = mx + b,

m represents the slope or the rate of change in the value of y for a unit change in the value of x

b represents the y-intercept (i.e the value of y when x = 0)

If you compare these definitions to what was given in the question, the rate of  change in snowfall is given as 1/2 inches per hour. This is equivalent to the m value in our general equation above. Hence we can say that the rate of change in snowfall is equal to the slope of the graph.

The question also states that before the snow even started to fall (i.e when x=0 hours), there was already 8 inches on the ground. This is equivalent to the value of b in our general equation above. Hence we can say that the y-intercept is representative of the 8 inches that was already on the ground when the snow started falling.

A cafe only sells two types of sandwiches, turkey and steak. The cafe charges $4 for turkey sandwiches and $6 for steak sandwich
valkas [14]

Answer:

513 turkey sandwiches were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x to represent turkey sandwiches and y to represent steak sandwiches.

x = turkey sandwiches

y = steak sandwiches

x + y = 925 total sandwiches that were sold

4x + 6y = 4524 dollars that were made

x + y = 925\\y = 925 - x

Now that we know what y (steak sandwiches) equals, we plug it in to an equation to find x.

4x + 6(925-x) = 4524\\4x + 5550 -6x=4524\\

Now, we subtract 5,550 from BOTH sides so we can get x by itself.

-2x + 5550 - 5550 = 4524 - 5550\\-2x = -1026

Next, we divide both sides by 2, so x is bare.

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{1026}{2}

x = 513

Since x represents turkey sandwiches, we have our answer: 513 turkey sandwiches were sold.

I hope this helps! :)
