$950 is the selling price of the item only.
Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation
2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13
so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)
If it is a bunch of dots on a graph, then the answer will be the one that has two sets of dots on the same vertical line (the y axis). so if there are two dots right above and below eachother, that graph is the correct answer.
The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"
That means you must put 2/15.
2 being the model
15 being the actual statue
Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.
Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.
In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.
The answer is X=7.5
1 : 7.5
First you put the numbers in this form:
11 Bagels = $9.57
________ _______
? Bagels = $3.52
Now they look like fractions but you have to cross multiply them like this: 11 x $3.52 which makes $38.72 then you divide $38.72 by $9.57 which makes the answer that you have to find which is 4.04597701 or just to round 4 and then that will be your answer.
