well, when x = 0, namely at the very beginning, y = 27, thus, that IS the initial value.
Answer:
The fraction of one pound of cheese to be used in each sandwich is 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we have a question that requires the method of dealing with the division of fractions.
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number as follows;

Quantity of cheese Shane has = 1/2 pound
Number of sandwiches to be made = 4
Amount of cheese per sandwich = 1/2÷4 = 1/8.
The first step is to name the equations to make the process of solving them easy.

The second step is to multiply each of the equations by the coefficient of the x term in the other equation. In this case, we will multiply equation (1) by 5 to get equation (3) and then multiply equation (2) by 6 to get equation (4).

The next step is to add equation equation(3) and (4) together to get equation (5) as shown below;

The next step is to take the value of y and substitute it into any of the equations above. For this solution, I pick equation (1). The work done to solve for x is shown below.;

The solution for this system of equations is 
To find volume multiply length, width, and height.
12.2 x 9.8 x 16.4 =1960.784
The answer is 1960.748 cm.
Por determinante:
5...1...1
1...0...1 = 0 --> se o determinante for igual a 0, os pontos estarão alinhados.
3...3...1
calculando: (5 x 0 x 1 + 1 x 1 x 3 + 1 x 3 x 1) - (1 x 0 x 3 + 1 x 1 x 1 + 3 x 1 x 5) =
0 + 3 + 3 - 0 - 1 - 15 =
6 - 1 - 15 =
5 - 15 = - 10 --> como não deu zero, os pontos não estão alinhados.
