One burrito salad costs $8.49 and one tortilla salad costs $3.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the cost of one burrito

y be the cost of one tortilla

According to given statement;

2x+y=20.57    Eqn 1

3x+3y=36.24    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(2x+y=20.57)\\6x+3y=61.71\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(6x+3y)-(3x+3y)=61.71-36.24\\6x+3y-3x-3y=25.47\\3x=25.47

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{25.47}{3}\\x=8.49

Putting x=8.49 in Eqn 1

2(8.49)+y=20.57\\16.98+y=20.57\\y=20.57-16.98\\y=3.59

One burrito salad costs $8.49 and one tortilla salad costs $3.59

Line JK passes through points J(–4, –5) and K(–6, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
4vir4ik [10]
The value of "b" is the y-intercept.

In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
   ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6   (simplify)--->   m= -4

2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
   ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)

3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
