Answer:

<em>x=-14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept of a line is the value of x that makes y=0.

A line can be expressed in its slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Once determined the equation of the line, the x-intercept can be calculated by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Let's find the slope of the line.

Suppose we know the line passes through two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let's pick the first two points of the table (-94,24) (-74,18). The slope is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{18-24}{-74+94}=\frac{-6}{20}=-\frac{3}{10}

The equation of the line is:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{10}x+b

Now use one of the points to find b, for example (-94,24):

\displaystyle 24=-\frac{3}{10}\cdot (-94)+b

Operating:

\displaystyle 24=\frac{141}{5}+b

Solving:

b=24-\frac{141}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}

The complete equation of the line is:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{10}x-\frac{21}{5}

To find the x-incercept, set y=0 and solve:

\displaystyle 0=-\frac{3}{10}x-\frac{21}{5}

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{21}{5}}{-\frac{3}{10}}=-\frac{21}{5}\cdot \frac{10}{3}

x=-14

Samuel spends a total of $36.75 on 1 bag of popcorn and 3 drinks. Sebastian spends a totally of $138.00 on 3 bags of popcorn and
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: A popcorn costs $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let popcorn be represented by p

Let drinks be represented by d.

Samuel spends a total of $36.75 on 1 bag of popcorn and 3 drinks. This will be: p + 3d = 36.75

Sebastian spends a totally of $138.00 on 3 bags of popcorn and 12 drinks. This will be: 3p + 12d= 138

p + 3d = 36.75 ........... i

3p + 12d = 138 ............ ii

Multiply equation i by 3

Multiply equation ii by 1

3p + 9d = 110.25 ....... iii

3p + 12d = 138 ............ iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

-3d = -27.75

3d = 27.75

Divide both side by 3

d = 9.25

A drink cost $9.25

From equation i

p + 3d = 36.75

P + 3(9.25) = 36.75

P + 27.75 = 36.75

P= 36.75 - 27.75

P= $9

A popcorn cost $9
