STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags

*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag

= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag

STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed

*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX

calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag

= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag


ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.

Hope this helps! :)

How do u do #22? Plz show me how u did it
hram777 [196]
3x-y=6, in order to be able to graph this you would have to change the equation to y=, so you need to subtract 3x from that side making it -y=-3x+6, now you need to y positive, so divide both sides by -1, thus making the equation look like y=3x-6, now if you can't plug this into a calculator to see what it would look like then you need to know what y=mx+b means. y is the equation you want to graph obviously, m = the slope, so our slope in this case would be -3, and b = our y intercept, so it would be (0,-6), so plot (0,-6) and use the slope to plot the rest of the points, some other points in this line should include (2,0), (-1,-9) and (4,6), just to name a few. Hope this helps.

7) Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 3.25

y =4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;

let;

8x - 4y = 7 ..................... equation 1

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

from equation2

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3

substitute for x in equation 1

8x - 4y = 7 ..................... equation 1

8(8-y) - 4y = 7

64-8y-4y=7

64-12y=7

collect the like terms

64-7 = 12y

57= 12y

divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12

57/12 = 12y/12

4.75 = y

y =4.75

put y = 4.75 in equation 3

x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3

x = 8 -4.75

x = 3.25

to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2

from equation 2

x + y = 8.......................... equation 2

3.25 + 4.75 =8

8=8.................... proved
