Use the ordered pairs to first find the slope then substitution into y=mx+b to find b

well, when x = 0, namely at the very beginning, y = 27, thus, that IS the initial value.
8. first 12 bags for 54m^{2}
[/tex]
54 ÷ 12 = 4.5
we know: 1 bag for 4.5m^2
36 ÷ 4.5 = 8
so 36m^2 we must use 8 bags
9.

x2 =5x2/8= 10/8 = 5/4 = 1.25
hope it helped you
W=15
Subtract 80 from both sides then you divide by -2w.
Multiply the first equation by -2 gives:_
-2y = -8 + 2x
2y = 8 - 2x
adding these 2 equations:-
0 = 0
This shows that the 2 equations are equal so there are infinite solutions
