You can create the equation 1.20x + 2.50y = 300
Where 1.20 is the price of each vinca flower, x is how many vinca you will buy, 2.50 is the price of each phlox flower, y is how many plhox you will buy and 300 is how much money you have.

To get three combinations of how many plhox and vinca flowers you ( or the gardner can buy) with 300, you can just take a random value for x or y, apply it to the equation and then solve the equation for the other
variable ( x or y).
This means:
Pick a number of how many flower you will get of ONE type of flower ( ONLY ONE)
The gardner will not get any Vinca flowers, then x = 0
( as x = how many vinca flower the gardner will get)
now apply 0 to x ( this means substitute x with 0)

(1.20)(0) + 2.50y = 300
Since any number x 0 is 0, the equation will be
0 + 2.50y = 300 or just 2.50y = 300

Now to solve an equation we just need to isolate the variable (y) on one side of the equation and the value on the other.
We can do that by dividing both sides of the equation, so 2.50y turns into 2.50/2.50 times y which is just y.

2.50/2.50 y = 300/2.50
y = 120
And since we chose the value for how many vincas we would buy, we have the x value as well ( 0)
x = 0

So 1 combination can be: 0 Vinca and 120 Plhox

Combination #2 ( I ll stop explaining the steps since I already explained how to do it)

y = 0 ( I chose not to buy any Plhox)

1.20x + (2.50)(0) = 300
1.20x = 300
1.20/120x = 300/120x
x = 25
y= 0
Combination 2: 25 Vincas and 0 plhox

Combination #3:
x = 100 ( I chose to buy 10 vincas)
(1.20)(100) + 2.50y = 300
120 + 2.50y = 300
( I didnt explain thow to isolate a variable in this situation so ill explain it: to isolate this esquation we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation so 12 cancels out. We need to do it on both sides because otherwise the first side wouldnt be equal to the other sode, and that wouldnt be an equation)

120 - 120 + 2.50y = 300 - 120
2.50y = 180
y = 72
x = 100

Combination 3: 100 Vinca and 72 Plox

I know this is long but I hope it was helpful to you if you didnt know how to solve equations :)

HELP WITH THESE TWO MATH QUESTIONS PLEASE!!!<br> ASAP!
Brilliant_brown [7]
The first picture would be choice answer c because the number of x's represent how many birds wings are this size. The number on the tic mark represents the size of the wing span. So you would take the number of x's times the tic mark represented under it. There are 3 birds with 3 1/8  wingspan so it wold be 3 1/8 *3. Hoped this helps for the first one!

Find the 96th term of the arithmetic sequence <br> -3, -14, -25, ...
lana [24]

Answer:

-1059

Step-by-step explanation:

Katelyn, this is super easy to understand.

Anyways, to find the 96th term of the sequence, first subtract -14 and -3. You may be thinking it is -17, but it is not. -17 is only if you are subtracting -14 and 3.

(-14) - (-3) = -14 + 3 = -11.

That means the difference between each number is -11.

Now all you have to do is take the -11 and multiply it by 96, which is -1056. Then, add the -1056 to -3, which is -1059. That should be your answer.

Your school may have taught you a different way, but this is my way.

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
Virty [35]
Hence it is a simply rearrangement of the equation to start with, in order to make  the subject:






This is the graph in 'slope-intercept' form. From here it is easy to see that gradient  = and that y-intercept = 490.

The easiest way to draw a straight-line graph, such as this one, is to plot the y-intercept, in this case (0, 490), then plot another point either side of it at a fair distance (for example substitute  = -5 and  = 5 to procure two more sets of co-ordinates). These can be joined up with a straight line to form a section of the graph, which would otherwise extend infinitely either side - use the specified range in the question for x-values, and do not exceed it (clearly here the limit of -values is 0 ≤ x ≤ 735, since neither x nor y can be negative within the context of the question - the upper limit was found by substituting  = 0).

In function notation, the graph is:



The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.

When the profit is higher, the gradient is not changed (this is defined by the relationship between the $2 and $3 prices, not the overall profit) - instead the -intercept is higher:






Therefore we have gleaned that the new y-intercept is.

Clearly I cannot see the third straight line. However the method for finding the equation of a straight line graph is fairly simple:

1. Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates
2. The gradient of the line = 
3. Find the change in  (Δ
4. Find the change in  (Δ
5. Divide the result of stage 3 by the result of stage 4
6. This is your gradient
7. Take one of your sets of coordinates, and arrange them in the form , where your  is the gradient you just calculated
8. There is only one variable left, which is  (the y-intercept). Simply solve for this
9. Now generalise the equation, in the form , by inputting your gradient and y-intercept whilst leaving the coordinates as  and 

For example if the two points were (1, 9) and (4, 6):

Δ = 6 - 9 = -3
Δ = 4 - 1 = 3
 =  = -1
I choose the point (4, 6)
6 = (-1 * 4) + c
6 = c - 4
c = 10
Therefore, generally, 

Within the context of the question, I imagine the prices of the two lunch specials will be the same in the third month and hence the gradient will still be  - this means steps 1-6 can be omitted. Furthermore if the axes are clearly labelled, you may even be able to just read off the y-intercept and hence dispose with steps 1-8!
