Complete Question
Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar. Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce. One package of pasta is the right amount to go with one jar of pasta sauce. What is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the number of packages of pasta
y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.
He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.
x + 1.5y ≤ 20....... Equation 1
x = 20 - 1.5y
x × $1 + y × $3 = $36
x + 3y ≤ 36..... Equation 2
20 - 1.5y + 3y = 36
-1.5y + 3y = 36 - 20
1.5y = 16
y = 16/1.5
y = 8
And x = 8
Therefore,
Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.
It is 80,000 im not sure what you meant by "800,00"
Notice that for this question, they are providing you with:
1) The slope of the line (4)
2) a point on the plane through which the line goes (6, -2)
So you can directly use for this the "point-slope" form of a line which is as follows:
This includes m as the slope, and the pair (x0, y0) as the pair representing the point the line goes through.
So, let's use the info they gave you to complete this:
which we can work out a little more:
And even a little more to finish the equation of the line in its standard slope-intercept form:
So the equation of the line is:
First do -x then -x to 4x so you have 3x-6=9.
Add 6 to -6 to cancel it out, then add 6 to 9.
3x-6. Divide 3from x, divide 3from 6. X=2. Plz answer my question too plz
