15 people = 9 lbs pasta

1 people = 9/15 lbs. pasta

So, for 76 people = 9/15 * 76 = 45.6 lbs pasta

9/15 = x/76......9 lbs to 15 ppl = x lbs to 76 ppl
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (9)(76)
15x = 684
x = 684/15
x = 45.6.....u should bring 45.6 lbs of pasta salad for 76 people

Solve the following system of equations graphically on the set of axes below.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations graphically, you plot each one, then identify the coordinates of the point of intersection.

The first equation can be graphed using the y-intercept of -1 and the slope of 2.

The second equation has a y-intercept of 18/3 = 6, and a slope of -1/3. The x-intercept of 18 is off the chart, so the slope and intercept are a good way to plot this line, too.

__

The slope is the "rise" divided by the "run". A slope of 2 means the line goes up 2 units for each unit to the right. A slope of -1/3 means the line goes down 1 unit for each 3 units to the right.

The solution is (x, y) = (3, 5).

An empty 6-gal water jug weighs 0.5 lb. With 3 c of water inside, the jug weighs 2 lb. Which equation models the jug’s weight y
nikdorinn [45]
The slope would be 2/3 because that would leave pounds when multiplied by cups.

add 0.5 for the weight of the water jug

y = (2/3)x + 0.5

Jason had $32. He spent all the money on buying 4 CDs for $x each and 2 magazines for $y each. If Jason had bought 5 CDs and 2 m
Leni [432]
You can set up two equations from the information given. I will set them up for you:

32 = 4x + 2y
36 = 5x + 2y

Let's solve the first equation to come up with a value for y.

32 = 4x + 2y
32 - 4x = 2y
16 - 2x = y

Now we plug y into the other equation.

36 = 5x + 2(16-2x)
36 = 5x + 32 - 4x
4 = x

Now we have our real x value and we can plug it into the first equation.

32 = 4(4) + 2y
32 = 16 + 2y
16 = 2y
8 = y

Since x = 4 and y = 8, you get the final coordinates of (4,8).

Your answer is the second statement provided above.

Given the equation 2X +4/3 Y equals one and Y -9/13 x=9 by what Vector would you multiply the first equation so that combining t
Mila [183]

Answer: Option B

B. \frac{9}{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equations:

2x + \frac{4}{3}y = 1       (1)

y -\frac{9}{13}x=9          (2)

Let us call "a" the coefficient of the variable x in the first equation and call "b" the coefficient of the variable x in the second equation.

Then we must multiply the number "a" by a value z such that when adding az + b the result is zero.a = 2

b = -\frac{9}{13}

So

2z-\frac{9}{13} = 0

We solve the equation for z

2z=\frac{9}{13}

z=\frac{9}{26}

The first equation must be multiplied by a value of \frac{9}{26}
