A company has a $150 budget to provide lunch for its 20 employees. The options are to provide either roast beef sandwiches, whic

h cost $5 apiece, or tuna sandwiches, which also cost $5 apiece. The company also wants to use the entire budget. Suppose r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and t represents the number of tuna sandwiches. Which statement is correct?
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r minus t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Answer:

2. The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total lunch budget of the company  =  $150

Total number of employees  = 20

The cost of 1 roast beef sandwich = $5

The cost of 1 tuna sandwich = $5

r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches provided.

t represents the number of tuna sandwiches provided.

Now, consider the given statements:

Here, total number of sandwiches purchased  = Total number of employees

⇒ r +  t = 20   .... (1)

Also, as each type of sandwich costs $5.

So, the cost of r roast beef sandwiches = r x ( Cost of  1  beef sandwich)

= r x ( $5) = 5 r

And, the cost of t tuna sandwiches = t x ( Cost of  1  tuna sandwich)

= t x ( $5) = 5 t

Total cost of (r +t) sandwiches = Total Lunch Budget

⇒ 5 r +  5 t = 150   .... (2)

Hence, from (1) and (2) the above situation can be represented as:

r +  t = 20  

5 r +  5 t = 150

Hence, the company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Trey drove 250 miles using 9 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 275 miles?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

10 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

250/9 = how many miles 1 gallon of gas will take

250/9 = 27.78

1 gallon of gas = 27.78 miles

275/27.78 = 9.90 gallons

9.90 gallons round up to 10 gallons

Therefore, Trey would need 10 gallons of gas to drive 275 miles.

Answer: -3x + 4, (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to get y alone on one side.

3x + y = 4

     -4    -4        subtract 4 to get it on the left side.

     -y     -y       subtract y to get it alone on the right side.

Your'e left with 3x - 4 = -y      divide the whole equation by -1 do get a pos y

You then have y = -3x + 4. That's the first part of your answer.

To get the second part plug in (-3x + 4) into the y of the first equation, this is the substitution part.

-2x + 5(-3x+4) =-14        distribute the 5...     -2x - 15x +20 = -14

add your like terms ( x and x)                       -17x + 20 = -14

Isolate your x by subtracting the 20, both sides  -20   -20

-17x = -34    divide both side by 17 you get x = 2 (---- this is your first coordinate in the pair in your answer. To get the y do the same but solve for y instead of x.
